Firth: your questions answered
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.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you come to Firth?
We do. We send a technician to Firth for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Tile repair in Firth without replacing anything
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, across floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Firth and nearby
Firth is in the Shetland Islands. Our repair technicians come to clients in Firth and the surrounding area, so there’s no workshop to go to. Our technicians cover 63 places across the Shetland Islands, from the larger towns to small villages.
We work across the ZE2 postcode area. Jobs here include addresses on Midlea, Leaside and Sandside and the roads around them. Close by, we cover Mossbank (1 mile north-east), Scatsta (4 miles west), Vidlin (6 miles south), Sullom (6 miles west) and Burravoe (6 miles north-east).

What’s near Firth
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Mossbank and the streets around them. The countryside around Firth includes Loch of Bordigarth.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We 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
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Porcelain tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Marble
- Floor and wall tiles
- Natural stone & granite
What else we do in Firth
How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your ZE2 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Landlord and trade work in Firth
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
