About our tile repair in Bimbister
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, across marble, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in Bimbister
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you cover the entire of the Orkney Islands?
We cover the entire UK, including Bimbister and the rest of the Orkney Islands. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- 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 pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Natural stone & granite
- Marble
- Floor and wall tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Porcelain tiles
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
