Tile repair at your home in Canongate
The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Our technicians work on natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Advice
What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Canongate. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Canongate
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Questions from Canongate
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Do you cover Canongate?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Canongate from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Floor and wall tiles
- Marble
- Natural stone & granite

Other services in Canongate
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
