Tile repair in Tarbet

About our tile repair in Tarbet

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing 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. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common problems we fix in Tarbet

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Drill holes from removed fittings

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Questions from Tarbet

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you cover Tarbet?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Tarbet and the rest of West Dunbartonshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Normally, if it is not loose.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

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

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
