Tile repair across the Shetland Islands: what to expect
We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, on porcelain tiles, marble and ceramic tiles.
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
What it costs in the Shetland Islands
Our tile repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What’s near Lerwick
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to St Margaret's Roman Catholic Church, Grand Hotel and Anderson High School, among other places. Well-known places in the area include Gilbert Bain Hospital (within half a mile south) and Shetland Museum (within half a mile north-east). Not far away are Setter Hill and Clickimin Loch.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- 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?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile.
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who turns up on the day
- When it can be used again
- How your room will be protected
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in the Shetland Islands, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How the damage happens
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Cracked floor tiles
- Drill holes from removed fittings
Common questions in the Shetland Islands
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Do you come to the Shetland Islands?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to the Shetland Islands. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Are there extra charges for the Shetland Islands?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Normally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
