Tile Repair in Portpatrick
Damaged tiled area in Portpatrick? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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.
About our tile repair in Portpatrick
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, in porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Questions from Portpatrick
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Floor and wall tiles
- Marble
- Porcelain tiles

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many areas need work

Why repair rather than replace?
