Tile repair at your home in Skeabrae
We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can usually put it right, on marble, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most customers in Skeabrae get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
