Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Tile repair at your home in Symbister
The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Our technicians work on marble, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Symbister questions
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, 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.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Do you come to Symbister?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Symbister from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Landlord and trade work in Symbister
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repair or replace in Symbister?

We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
