About our tile repair in Craigmillar

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Our technicians work on ceramic tiles, marble and porcelain tiles, and common reasons people contact us are cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Craigmillar

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How much does tile repair cost in Craigmillar?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Porcelain tiles

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the tile and remove 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.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

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 pictures, as it can add time.

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 often lifts.

Repairing versus replacing in Craigmillar

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your EH16 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
