Tile repair in Murkle, done in place

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Common call-outs are for drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, across ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and marble.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Murkle questions

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Frequently, yes, if it is not loose.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole tiled area and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Murkle and the rest of Highland. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How we price tile repair

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

We price from photos so you do not 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 we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
