About our tile repair in Strachan
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. If you are dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can

What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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.

What else we do in Strachan
Strachan: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Do you come to Strachan?
We do. We send a technician to Strachan for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
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 leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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 tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of 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.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
