About our tile repair in Sandyford
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 will tell you. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sandyford as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Common questions in Sandyford
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you work in Sandyford?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Sandyford from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you cover the whole of Glasgow?
The entire UK, including all of Glasgow. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Repairing versus replacing in Sandyford
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Sandyford. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
