Tile repair in Port Ellen without replacing anything
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We work on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and marble, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Port Ellen questions
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Are there extra charges for Port Ellen?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Argyll and Bute. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
When a repair is not the answer
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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Port Ellen. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Port Ellen. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
