Tile repair in Aywick without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Common call-outs are for damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, on porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Aywick and across the Shetland Islands. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Before and after: damaged granite tiles repaired in place

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repairing versus replacing in Aywick

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

  • Colour-matched on site

Your questions about tile repair in Aywick

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

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Aywick?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across the Shetland Islands.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you need tile repair in Aywick?

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

People generally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Aywick

  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Marble

What affects the price in Aywick

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Aywick. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

There are no surprise 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.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Aywick

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
