Tile repair in Wasbister without replacing anything
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. We work on marble, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

Common questions in Wasbister
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Which areas do you work in?
All of the Orkney Islands, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Typically, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What affects the price in Wasbister
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
Repairing versus replacing in Wasbister
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Wasbister. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
