Tile repair near Drumlithie

Tile repair in Drumlithie without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We work on marble, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Questions from Drumlithie

Do you work in Drumlithie?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Drumlithie from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How to compare quotes

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Drumlithie

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot 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 photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
