Tile repair for Fordoun homes

How we handle tile repair in Fordoun

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Our technicians work on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people contact us are chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Fordoun questions

How much does tile repair cost in Fordoun?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your AB30 postcode.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Typically, if it is not loose.

Do you cover the whole of Aberdeenshire?

All of Aberdeenshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, 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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Our hiring checklist

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Fordoun. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Fordoun. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole tiled area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fordoun

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.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Fordoun clients choose us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No extra charge for your area
