Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Port Appin. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PA38 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
About our tile repair in Port Appin
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We work on natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Port Appin 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.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Do you need tile repair in Port Appin?
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Damaged tile edges
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What prep work is covered
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether they match the colour on site
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairing versus replacing in Port Appin
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
