About our tile repair in Canonmills
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, in ceramic tiles, marble and porcelain tiles.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in Canonmills
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Frequently, yes, if it is not loose.
What areas do you cover?
All of Edinburgh, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What affects the price in Canonmills
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Floor and wall tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Marble

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, 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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
