Tile repair in Kirkcaldy without replacing anything
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, we can typically put it right, on marble, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from pictures so you do not 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.
Kirkcaldy: your questions answered
Do you cover Kirkcaldy?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Kirkcaldy from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Fife. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Landlord and trade work in Kirkcaldy
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Natural stone & granite
- Marble
- Floor and wall tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Porcelain tiles
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price

Can I fix it myself?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
