Tile repair for Port Elphinstone homes

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Tile repair at your home in Port Elphinstone

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Common call-outs are for drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, across natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlords, agents and businesses in Port Elphinstone

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

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Common questions in Port Elphinstone

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Usually, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  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. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Port Elphinstone. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
