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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Tile repair in Balgreen without replacing anything
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We work on porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and marble, and people most frequently call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Balgreen and across Edinburgh. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Common questions in Balgreen
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Generally, if it isn’t loose.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Repairing versus replacing in Balgreen
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
