How we handle tile repair in Torphins

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, on natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and marble.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Torphins and across Aberdeenshire. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in Torphins

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace in Torphins?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Torphins. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most customers in Torphins get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
