Tile repair for Tillydrone homes

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Tillydrone

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

Tile repair at your home in Tillydrone

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 will say so. Our technicians work on natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles, and common reasons people contact us are chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Tillydrone questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

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 pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you come to Tillydrone?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Tillydrone. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Aberdeen.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Tillydrone, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

What we’re called out for in Tillydrone

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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