Tile Repair in Skelmorlie
We travel to Skelmorlie for chip, crack and drill-hole repairs to floor and wall tiles. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Cracked floor tiles
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How we handle tile repair in Skelmorlie
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Skelmorlie, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
