About our tile repair in Houbie
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles, across porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Houbie and across the Shetland Islands. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Houbie
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Houbie, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Houbie, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Houbie questions
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
How much does tile repair cost in Houbie?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you work in Houbie?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Houbie for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
