Tile repair at your home in Burghmuirhead
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, in marble, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Burghmuirhead and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Common questions in Burghmuirhead
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How much does tile repair cost in Burghmuirhead?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EH10 postcode.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
