How we handle tile repair in Tarves

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We regularly repair natural stone & granite, marble and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Tarves questions

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Aberdeenshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Often, yes, if it is not loose.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What affects the price in Tarves

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Tarves. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For a price in Tarves, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Tarves

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your AB41 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We leave the room as we found it

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
