Tile repair for Freuchie homes

Landlord and trade work in Freuchie

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

About our tile repair in Freuchie

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Common call-outs are for damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, in floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Freuchie questions

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Freuchie. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage

What it costs 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 pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Freuchie, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
