About our tile repair in Kinninvie

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. We work on natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles, and people most frequently call us about cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

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. Our tile repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Common questions in Kinninvie

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Do you cover Kinninvie?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Kinninvie. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Kinninvie, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
