About our tile repair in Carrick Knowe
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We regularly repair marble, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles, and people most often call us about cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Questions from Carrick Knowe
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Edinburgh.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Are there extra charges for Carrick Knowe?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Do you come to Carrick Knowe?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Carrick Knowe. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’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 photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
