Tile repair at your home in Kirkcowan
We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. If you are dealing with damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can help.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Kirkcowan and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
