Trusted tile repair in Hillside

Tile repair in Hillside, done in place

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. We work on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles, and people most frequently call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings.

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

Before and after: damaged granite tiles repaired in place

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The process

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Hillside questions

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you come to Hillside?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Hillside and the rest of Aberdeenshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hillside as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

For anyone letting property in or around Hillside, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

When to call us in Hillside

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Cracked floor tiles
