Tile repair in Backlands, done in place
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. We are often asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, across porcelain tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Backlands. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Backlands: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Backlands and the rest of Moray. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, 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
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.
