Tile repair in Kippford, done in place
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Whether it’s drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Porcelain tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Ceramic tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
- Marble
Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Kippford. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Questions from Kippford
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Kippford.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Landlord and trade work in Kippford
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
How it works
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- The material
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.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
