Tile repair near Orphir

Tile repair at your home in Orphir

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, across natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Orphir

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in the Orkney Islands and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Orphir. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Questions from Orphir

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you cover Orphir?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Orphir and the rest of the Orkney Islands. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What does tile repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of the Orkney Islands. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Orphir

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Cracked floor tiles
