Tile repair in Longhope without replacing anything
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help, on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and marble alike.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Longhope
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How much does tile repair cost in Longhope?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire tiled area and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Are there extra charges for Longhope?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover the whole of the Orkney Islands?
The entire UK, including all of the Orkney Islands. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you need tile repair in Longhope?
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Cracked floor tiles
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Damaged tile edges
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repairing versus replacing in Longhope
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Longhope, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Most customers in Longhope get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, 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 will say what we think.
