Tile repair in Mallaig, done in place
We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Our repair technicians work on porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Mallaig questions
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you cover Mallaig?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Mallaig. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Are there extra charges for Mallaig?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Mallaig
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
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.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
