How we handle tile repair in Aithsetter

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We regularly repair natural stone & granite, marble and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people contact us are chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Aithsetter as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
Next we fill the damage.
We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Common questions in Aithsetter

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you cover Aithsetter?

We do. Technicians travel to Aithsetter from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Does someone need to be in?

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

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Aithsetter. Prices don’t change with location.

Is it messy?

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

What tile repair costs

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

Where the damage is and how we get to it
The colour and finish to match
Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Doing more than one item at once

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

How to get a fixed quote

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

Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A clear, close picture of the problem area
Something in shot to show the size
Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Aithsetter

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

If you manage property in Aithsetter, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
Whole walls of failing grout

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
