Tile repair at your home in Gretna Green

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Common call-outs are for discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, on porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and marble.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Gretna Green

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why Gretna Green customers choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common problems we fix in Gretna Green

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace

What your quote should include

  • How to care for the finish
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Gretna Green: your questions answered

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you come to Gretna Green?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Gretna Green. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
