Tile repair near Lochee

How we handle tile repair in Lochee

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We work on marble, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Lochee. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Lochee. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Lochee, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Lochee questions

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
