How we handle tile repair in Newton Mearns
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, across ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and marble.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Newton Mearns
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Newton Mearns questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Newton Mearns.
What does tile repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Normally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
