Tile repair in Norseman, Orkney Islands

Tile repair in Norseman, done in place
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, in natural stone & granite, marble and ceramic tiles.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Questions from Norseman
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Norseman
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it 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.
