Tile repair in Lochmaddy

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lochmaddy

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

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Tile repair in Lochmaddy, done in place

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 say so. We work on porcelain tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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 photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

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 send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Lochmaddy questions

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
