About our tile repair in Ninewells
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, we can normally put it right, on marble, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ninewells. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
What it costs 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 photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What a repair cannot fix

- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ninewells
For anyone letting property in or around Ninewells, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Ninewells: your questions answered

Are there extra charges for Ninewells?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Ninewells.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
