Tile repair at your home in Penilee
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can usually put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Repairing versus replacing in Penilee
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Your questions about tile repair in Penilee
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What does tile repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, 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 clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Natural stone & granite
- Porcelain tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
- Marble
- Ceramic tiles

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
