Tile repair in Marybank without replacing anything
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. We are frequently asked to fix damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Highland. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Marybank use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Marybank: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you cover Marybank?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Marybank. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Generally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
