About our tile repair in Lochardil
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you’re dealing with damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Questions from Lochardil
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Typically, if it isn’t loose.
How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
Most customers in Lochardil get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the tile and remove 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
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Honest limits

Repair or replace in Lochardil?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is.
