Tile repair for Spott homes

Tile repair at your home in Spott

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We regularly repair marble, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles, and people most frequently call us about damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Questions from Spott

Do you cover Spott?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Spott. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Spott is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across East Lothian.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

What we can’t put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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

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

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Related advice

Landlord and trade work in Spott

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Spott as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What we are called out for in Spott

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Drill holes from removed fittings

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Work done at your home or business
