About our tile repair in Braehoulland

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Our work in Braehoulland

Braehoulland is about 28 miles north-west of Lerwick, in the Shetland Islands. Clients in Braehoulland get the same service as everywhere else we cover: a fixed quote from pictures, then a visit to do the work. Braehoulland is one of 63 towns and villages in the Shetland Islands where we work.

Our visits in ZE2 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. If you are just outside Braehoulland, we cover Hillswick (3 miles south-east), Urafirth (4 miles east), Hogaland (7 miles east), Ollaberry (8 miles east) and Sullom (8 miles south-east). Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so call us to arrange it.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Take a look at our pricing.

What a repair cannot fix

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’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Your questions about tile repair in Braehoulland

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you come to Braehoulland?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Braehoulland from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you need tile repair in Braehoulland?

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Damaged tile edges

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

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.

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.
