Tile repair in Burray Village without replacing anything

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We’re often asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, in marble, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Burray Village and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

When to call us in Burray Village

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Damaged tile edges

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Burray Village as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole tiled area

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we cannot put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Burray Village questions

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Typically, if it isn’t loose.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Repairing versus replacing in Burray Village

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour-matched on site
  • No extra charge for your area
