About our tile repair in Comely Bank

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, we can normally put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Comely Bank

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Edinburgh and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Comely Bank

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

FAQs for Comely Bank

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Comely Bank

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Comely Bank. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

  • Marble
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Ceramic tiles

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
