Tile repair in Comiston, done in place
The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Our repair technicians work on marble, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down 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 is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Common questions in Comiston
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
What does tile repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your EH10 postcode.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you cover the entire of Edinburgh?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
Get a quote
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
