DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
About our tile repair in Nairn
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles, and people most often call us about damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Nairn and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in Nairn
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Nairn. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you cover Nairn?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Nairn and the rest of Highland. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Most customers in Nairn get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
