DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Tile repair at your home in Alness
We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Common call-outs are for damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, in floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Alness as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Floor and wall tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Ceramic tiles
- Marble
Do you need tile repair in Alness?
