Tile repair in Hillhead

Tile repair in Hillhead, done in place

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can help.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Hillhead and across Glasgow. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. 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 photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Questions from Hillhead

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Are there extra charges for Hillhead?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Does someone need to be in?
