Tile repair for Irvine homes

Tile repair in Irvine, done in place

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Our technicians work on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Irvine, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about tile repair in Irvine

Do you cover the whole of North Ayrshire?

The entire UK, including all of North Ayrshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t 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. 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.
