About our tile repair in Scarinish
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will 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, across marble, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Marble
- Porcelain tiles

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
When to call us in Scarinish

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Cracked floor tiles
- Damaged tile edges
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Chips from dropped pans and tools

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
