Stenness questions

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Tile repair in Stenness without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Typical jobs include discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, across ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and marble.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Stenness

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour-matched on site

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back

Most clients in Stenness get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
