What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Waterside. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Tile repair in Waterside, done in place
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Our technicians work on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles, and common reasons people contact us are cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Waterside: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across East Dunbartonshire.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Waterside as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
