About tile repair in the Orkney Islands

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our technicians work on floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings.

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Landmarks near Kirkwall

What affects the price in the Orkney Islands

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

You don’t 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 come back to you with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in the Orkney Islands and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

Repair or replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is.

Questions to ask before booking

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How your room will be protected
  • What preparation is included
  • How soon you can use it again

Common problems we fix in the Orkney Islands

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace

Questions from the Orkney Islands

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you come to the Orkney Islands?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to the Orkney Islands for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
