About our tile repair in Pathhead
We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Whether it’s drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can normally put it right.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- 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
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Pathhead questions
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, if it is not loose.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Landlord and trade work in Pathhead
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pathhead use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
