Tile repair at your home in Melness
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, across marble, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Melness questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Melness and the rest of Highland. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Typically, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What we can’t put right

- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed

What else we do in Melness
Landlords, agents and businesses in Melness
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Melness, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
