Tile repair at your home in Stromness
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Typical jobs include cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, in natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 affects the price in Stromness
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Stromness. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Stromness, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What happens on the day
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. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Most clients in Stromness get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
What else we do in Stromness
Stromness: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across the Orkney Islands.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- Colour-matched on site
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Work done at your home or business
- One-year guarantee on every repair
