About our tile repair in Scrabster
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Our repair technicians work on floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can price the job.
Scrabster questions
How much does tile repair cost in Scrabster?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Do you cover the whole of Highland?
The whole UK, including all of Highland. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Scrabster as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
