Tile repair in Tarbrax

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Tile repair at your home in Tarbrax

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Typical jobs include cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, in ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Tarbrax

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EH55 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Tarbrax: your questions answered

Are there extra charges for Tarbrax?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What does tile repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you cover Tarbrax?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Tarbrax and the rest of West Lothian. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
