Trusted tile repair in Laurencekirk

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  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. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Advice

How we handle tile repair in Laurencekirk

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We work on marble, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can price the job without visiting.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Laurencekirk

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 normally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
