Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Tile repair at your home in Balmacara
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Highland. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Balmacara
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you’re in Balmacara and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Questions from Balmacara
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

We cover the whole UK, including Balmacara and the rest of Highland. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
