For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Porcelain tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Marble
- Floor and wall tiles

Common questions in Heddle
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How do I get a price for tile repair in Heddle?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Do you cover Heddle?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Heddle and the rest of the Orkney Islands. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
