Tile repair in Colinton, done in place
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We are frequently asked to fix discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, across porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Colinton
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
FAQs for Colinton
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Colinton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you come to Colinton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Colinton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What affects the price in Colinton
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Colinton. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
