Trusted tile repair in An Tairbeart

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair 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.

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.

10 questions to ask before you book

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in An Tairbeart

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

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. 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, 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.

Do you work in An Tairbeart?

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.
