Trusted tile repair in Bucksburn

Tile repair in Bucksburn, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on floor and wall tiles, marble and natural stone & granite, and people most often call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Before and after: damaged granite tiles repaired in place

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

FAQs for Bucksburn

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Bucksburn and the rest of Aberdeen. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Are there extra charges for Bucksburn?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
