How we handle tile repair in Little Scotland

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Typical jobs include discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, across porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

10 questions to ask before booking

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Common questions in Little Scotland

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Are there extra charges for Little Scotland?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
