Tile repair in Pittenweem without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our repair technicians work on marble, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Pittenweem

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

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Pittenweem, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pittenweem as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Pittenweem

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Signs you need tile repair in Pittenweem

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What preparation is included

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Pittenweem. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Pittenweem customers choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
