What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Tile repair in Troqueer without replacing anything
The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We work on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Troqueer, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Troqueer as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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 before booking.

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Troqueer questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Usually, if it isn’t loose.
