Your questions about tile repair in St Andrews
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What does tile repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Tile repair in St Andrews without replacing anything
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Common call-outs are for drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- A fixed quote before booking
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We leave the room as we found it
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Andrews as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Floor and wall tiles
- Porcelain tiles

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What else we do in St Andrews
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What affects the price in St Andrews
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
