Tile repair across Edinburgh: what to expect

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We’re often asked to fix discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, in porcelain tiles, marble and ceramic tiles.

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  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. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Pricing in Edinburgh

Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, 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

What affects the price in Edinburgh

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Edinburgh

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Edinburgh as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How the damage happens

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.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace

Questions from Edinburgh

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Edinburgh included. There is no extra charge for travel.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you work in Edinburgh?

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

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
