About our tile repair in West Kilbride

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If you are dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles, we can generally put it right, on natural stone & granite, marble and ceramic tiles alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Questions from West Kilbride

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole tiled area and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you cover West Kilbride?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to West Kilbride and the rest of North Ayrshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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.

What affects the price in West Kilbride

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your KA23 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
