Tile repair in Star, Fife
We travel to Star for chip, crack and drill-hole repairs to floor and wall tiles. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Damaged tile edges
- Cracked floor tiles
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Fife and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Tile repair in Star, done in place
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Common call-outs are for drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, in porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and marble.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Common questions in Star
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
