Tile repair in Gilshochill

Tile repair in Gilshochill without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Our repair technicians work on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite, and people most often call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Choosing a repair company

Repairing versus replacing in Gilshochill

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

  • No need to remove anything
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No extra charge for your area

Gilshochill questions

How do I get a price for tile repair in Gilshochill?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your G20 postcode.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Usually, if it isn’t loose.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Related advice

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Marble
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Porcelain tiles
