Tile repair in Abernethy

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How we handle tile repair in Abernethy

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Typical jobs include discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, on porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common problems we fix in Abernethy

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Cracked floor tiles

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we do, step by step

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. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed

Your questions about tile repair in Abernethy

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Abernethy included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Frequently, yes, if it is not loose.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
