About our tile repair in Forss

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. If you’re dealing with cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, we can typically put it right.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Forss. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Forss

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Your questions about tile repair in Forss

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Generally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Highland.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
