Our tile repair service in East Lothian
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. We’re frequently asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, in natural stone & granite, marble and floor and wall tiles.
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Cost
Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for East Lothian. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why choose Surface Doctor
- No extra charge for your area
- Fixed prices from your pictures

Landmarks near Musselburgh
Around Musselburgh, we work in homes near Musselburgh, Loretto School and The David Macbeth Moir pub, among other places. The nearest railway station is Musselburgh station, about 0.8 miles south-west of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Carberry Tower (2.2 miles south-east) and Musselburgh Doll Museum (under half a mile north-east). For a walk, there’s The New Leaf Co-op and Whinny Hill.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole tiled area
Most clients in East Lothian get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How the room is protected while they work
- Aftercare advice
