About our tile repair in Bigton
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If you are dealing with cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help, on porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles alike.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
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 which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
For a price in Bigton, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Advice
What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
Your questions about tile repair in Bigton
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of the Shetland Islands. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you work in Bigton?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Bigton and the rest of the Shetland Islands. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
