Tile repair in Govanhill without replacing anything
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
FAQs for Govanhill
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Normally, if it isn’t loose.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Govanhill
- Porcelain tiles
- Ceramic tiles

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- A fixed quote before you book
- Colour mixed on the day to match
