Tile repair in Burdiehouse

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

About our tile repair in Burdiehouse

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help, on marble, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Common problems we fix in Burdiehouse

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, 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
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Drill holes from removed fittings

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Common questions in Burdiehouse

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

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.

Do you work in Burdiehouse?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Burdiehouse from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Generally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Do you cover the whole of Edinburgh?

We cover the whole UK, including Burdiehouse and the rest of Edinburgh. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Are there extra charges for Burdiehouse?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Burdiehouse. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
