Tile repair in Lochinver, done in place

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, on natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and marble.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

FAQs for Lochinver

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Do you cover Lochinver?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Lochinver from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Lochinver, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Highland and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
