Tile repair in Brae without replacing anything
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
FAQs for Brae
Do you cover the whole of the Shetland Islands?
Everywhere in the UK, Brae included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
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.
Repair or replace in Brae?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Brae. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Postcode districts we cover here: ZE2. Local streets include Runafirth, Ladieside and Hevdaland, all of which we cover. If you’re just outside Brae, we cover Sullom (3 miles north), Scatsta (3 miles north-east), Voe (4 miles south-east), Firth (6 miles north-east) and Hogaland (7 miles north).

Not far away are Houlls Water.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Brae, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Brae, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- 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.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
For a price in Brae, 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.
