When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

About our tile repair in An t-Ob

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. If you are dealing with cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, we can typically put it right.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in An t-Ob

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for An t-Ob. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Questions from An t-Ob

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you come to An t-Ob?

We do. Repair technicians travel to An t-Ob from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Typically, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95.

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
