Your questions about tile repair in Craobh Haven

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole tiled area and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Usually, if it is not loose.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Tile repair at your home in Craobh Haven

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We work on natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Argyll and Bute. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlord and trade work in Craobh Haven

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What we’re called out for in Craobh Haven

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace

Before booking anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who turns up on the day
  • If travel is included in the price

10 questions to ask before booking

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Craobh Haven

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

  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.
