How we handle tile repair in Cairston
The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. If you are dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, we can help, whatever the material.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Orkney Islands. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Common questions in Cairston
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you cover Cairston?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Cairston. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
