About our tile repair in Pollokshields

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, in marble, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace in Pollokshields?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our pricing.

What affects the price in Pollokshields

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Pollokshields questions

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pollokshields use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work 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 will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Marble
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Natural stone & granite

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can price the job without visiting.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

When to call us in Pollokshields

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
