Tile repair at your home in Exnaboe
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. We work on porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and marble, and people most often call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Exnaboe and across the Shetland Islands. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One visit for most repairs
- A fixed quote before you book
- We leave the room as we found it

What else we do in Exnaboe
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Exnaboe. The price comes down to:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
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
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Questions from Exnaboe
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Common problems we fix in Exnaboe
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Damaged tile edges
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Cracked floor tiles
