Questions from Baltasound
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Generally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Which areas do you work in?
All of the Shetland Islands, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Tile repair at your home in Baltasound
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We are frequently asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, on marble, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Repair or replace in Baltasound?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Baltasound
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in the Shetland Islands and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What we cannot put right
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
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Floor and wall tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Marble
- Natural stone & granite
- Porcelain tiles
