Tile repair in Culbokie, done in place

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Our technicians work on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Culbokie and across Highland. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For a price in Culbokie, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • 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 will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Culbokie

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

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

Common questions in Culbokie

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Typically, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you charge for travel?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Culbokie, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

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.
