Kirkurd: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How do I get a price for tile repair in Kirkurd?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Often, yes, if it isn’t loose.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Repairing versus replacing in Kirkurd
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
