About our tile repair in Tarland

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. Our repair technicians work on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Tarland

  • Ceramic tiles
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Marble
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Natural stone & granite

Repairing versus replacing in Tarland

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Tarland. The price depends on:

FAQs for Tarland

When can you do it?

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

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Normally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

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