Tile repair at your home in Gillock
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Common call-outs are for cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Floor and wall tiles
- Marble
- Porcelain tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Natural stone & granite
What affects the price in Gillock
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Gillock. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
