Tile repair in Kelvingrove without replacing anything
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people get in touch are drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Glasgow. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Kelvingrove

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Kelvingrove. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Kelvingrove: your questions answered
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
What does tile repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your G3 postcode.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Kelvingrove. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
