Tile repair at your home in Thankerton

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 tell you. We are frequently asked to fix damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles, on floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Cracked floor tiles

Our hiring checklist

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Repairing versus replacing in Thankerton

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Landlord and trade work in Thankerton

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Your questions about tile repair in Thankerton

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

How much does tile repair cost in Thankerton?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
