How we handle tile repair in Strichen
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 tell you. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles, and people most frequently call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Strichen and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Strichen questions
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Common problems we fix in Strichen
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Damaged tile edges
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
- Cracked floor tiles
Comparing quotes
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
For landlords and businesses
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 regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Strichen. The price reflects:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What else we do in Strichen
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Honest limits
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
