How we handle tile repair in Sauchen
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. We’re often asked to fix cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, in marble, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Sauchen, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

About Sauchen
Sauchen is about 8 miles south-west of Inverurie, in Aberdeenshire. Clients in Sauchen get the same service as everywhere else we cover: a fixed price from your photos, then a visit to do the work. We work in 161 places in Aberdeenshire, from the larger towns to small villages.
Jobs in AB51 are booked in the same way as anywhere else. Jobs here include addresses on Main Street, Cluny Meadows and The Lane and the roads around them. We also travel to Midmar (2 miles south-west), Monymusk (3 miles north), Dunecht (3 miles east), Kemnay (4 miles north-east) and Lyne of Skene (4 miles east).

Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so it’s best to call first.

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on

What affects the price in Sauchen
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
