Tile repair at your home in An Tairbeart
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Our technicians work on porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble, and people most often call us about drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout

Should you replace it?

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Questions from An Tairbeart
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Usually, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Do you cover the whole of Argyll and Bute?
The entire UK, including all of Argyll and Bute. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

We do. We send a technician to An Tairbeart for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
