Tile repair in Whithorn

Tile repair in Whithorn, done in place

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and marble.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

What it costs 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 pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DG8 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our prices page.

Work for landlords and builders

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.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dumfries and Galloway and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
