Your questions about tile repair in Govan
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Govan.
Do you come to Govan?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Govan and the rest of Glasgow. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Govan
If you manage property in Govan, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What affects the price in Govan
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Govan. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Govan. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
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 to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
