If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and marble, and people most frequently call us about damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Sandwick and across the Shetland Islands. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Sandwick questions

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Sandwick?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your ZE2 postcode.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in the Shetland Islands and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No need to remove anything
  • Most jobs done in one visit

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What affects the price in Sandwick

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

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Sandwick. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode

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

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
