Tile repair for Inbhir Aora homes

Inbhir Aora: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Usually, if it isn’t loose.

Is my repair covered?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

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

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Are there extra charges for Inbhir Aora?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Tile repair in Inbhir Aora, done in place

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We work on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Inbhir Aora

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • 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’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Inbhir Aora

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Damaged tile edges

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Inbhir Aora

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
