Tile repair in Shettleston, done in place
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles, across floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your G32 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Shettleston questions
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do you cover the entire of Glasgow?
All of Glasgow, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.
Repairing versus replacing in Shettleston
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
