Tile repair in Banchory, done in place

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. If you are dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles, we can usually put it right, on ceramic tiles, marble and natural stone & granite alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Banchory as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Banchory questions

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

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. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

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

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you work in Banchory?

We do. Technicians travel to Banchory from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Normally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

What areas do you cover?

All of Aberdeenshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Banchory, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Natural stone & granite
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Marble

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
