Need tile repair in Vassa?

Tile repair in Vassa without replacing anything

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Typical jobs include cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, on porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles.

We guarantee the work for a year. 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.

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Vassa

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in the Shetland Islands and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What we are called out for in Vassa

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Choosing a repair company

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

When we would advise against a repair

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

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 will get a fixed figure back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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

Common questions in Vassa

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How much does tile repair cost in Vassa?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you cover Vassa?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Vassa for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
