How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

About our tile repair in Chesser

We repair the tile in place, 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. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Chesser and across Edinburgh. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Questions from Chesser

How much does tile repair cost in Chesser?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EH14 postcode.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Choosing a repair company

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
