About our tile repair in Airlie

If a tile moves, it 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. If you are dealing with cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Airlie

Can you quote from photos?

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

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Airlie.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Typically, if it isn’t loose.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Airlie. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY kit or professional 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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
