About our tile repair in Rigside

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles, and people most often call us about cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in South Lanarkshire. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • The material

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole tiled area

For a price in Rigside, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Landlord and trade work in Rigside

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rigside as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 usually the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
