Deans: your questions answered

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you cover Deans?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Deans. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What does tile repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

About our tile repair in Deans

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, on marble, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Deans

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t 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’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Deans

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

Repair or replace in Deans?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Landlord and trade work in Deans

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in West Lothian and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

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

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
