Tile repair in Steinis

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Tile repair in Steinis, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Whether it’s drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, we can help, on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Repairing versus replacing in Steinis

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our full price list.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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 recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Questions from Steinis

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Na h-Eileanan Siar.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you come to Steinis?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Steinis and the rest of Na h-Eileanan Siar. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What we can’t put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
