Tile repair in Joppa, done in place
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 will say so. We’re often asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, on marble, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in South Ayrshire. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Joppa
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Landlord and trade work in Joppa
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
For anyone letting property in or around Joppa, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
