Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Kirkcolm and across Dumfries and Galloway. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Advice

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
If you are in Kirkcolm and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add 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.

Common questions in Kirkcolm
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot 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 will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Floor and wall tiles

Questions to ask before booking

- How long it needs to cure
- How to look after the finish
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
