Tile repair in Old Monkland

How we handle tile repair in Old Monkland

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. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, in natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in North Lanarkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Same prices wherever you are

FAQs for Old Monkland

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Typically, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Old Monkland. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not 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.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
