Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Tile repair in Merkinch, 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 say so. We are often asked to fix discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, in natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in Merkinch
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

About Merkinch
Merkinch is about 1 mile north-west of Inverness, in Highland. We work in every kind of home, from flats and terraces to detached houses and new builds, plus businesses and rented homes. Our repair technicians cover all 253 towns and villages across Highland.
Every address in IV3, IV1 and IV2 is covered. You will find streets such as Swan Lane, Shoe Lane and Canal Road, and we cover them all. Merkinch sits on or near the A862, which makes travel easy. We also travel to Longman (1 mile east), Inverness (1 mile south-east), Ballifeary (1 mile south), Millburn (1 mile east) and Crown (1 mile south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Nairn (15 miles north-east), Cradlehall (4 miles east), Dingwall (11 miles north-west), Alness (15 miles north), Invergordon (15 miles north) and Muir of Ord (8 miles west). Merkinch is among the bigger towns we cover in Highland. Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so it’s best to call first.
Landmarks near Merkinch
Our customers here include homes close to Inverness High School, St Michael & All Angels and Cavell Gardens. Merkinch’s nearest station is Inverness station, about 0.8 miles east of the centre. Further afield, we also cover the area around Inverness Castle (0.9 miles south-east) and Royal Northern Infirmary (1 mile south-east). The countryside around Merkinch includes Tomnahurich.
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
