Tile repair for Newhills homes

Tile repair in Newhills without replacing anything

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Our repair technicians work on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people contact us are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeen. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Newhills

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Our hiring checklist

Newhills: your questions answered

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Aberdeen.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Porcelain tiles
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Marble
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Natural stone & granite

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newhills

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Aberdeen and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Newhills. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair 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.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
