Advice
Tile repair at your home in Hamilton
The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We work on floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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 pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
FAQs for Hamilton
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Typically, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
How do I get a price for tile repair in Hamilton?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Are there extra charges for Hamilton?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
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.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
