Tile repair for Glencaple homes

Tile repair at your home in Glencaple

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Before and after: damaged granite tiles repaired in place

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Do you need tile repair in Glencaple?

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Damaged tile edges

What your quote should include

  • How to care for the finish
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

Questions from Glencaple

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you cover the whole of Dumfries and Galloway?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Often, yes, if it isn’t loose.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price
