Trusted tile repair in Craigleith

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Tile repair in Craigleith without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If you’re dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles, we can help, on floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and marble alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Craigleith

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What does tile repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Normally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Craigleith. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
