Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one 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
  • Whole walls of failing grout

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Natural stone & granite
  • Marble
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Porcelain tiles

Tile repair in Aith, done in place

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, across floor and wall tiles, marble and ceramic tiles.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Aith

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Aith. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Most clients in Aith get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Choosing a repair company

Aith: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What does tile repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Landlord and trade work in Aith

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
