Tile repair in Rathven

Tile repair at your home in Rathven

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help, on marble, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

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
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

If you are in Rathven and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

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.

Questions from Rathven

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How much does tile repair cost in Rathven?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What areas do you cover?

All of Moray, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit
