About our tile repair in Crewe Toll

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. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people contact us are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Before and after: damaged granite tiles repaired in place

When a repair is not the answer

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Crewe Toll

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crewe Toll use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Crewe Toll: your questions answered

Do you work in Crewe Toll?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Crewe Toll for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Normally, if it is not loose.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Edinburgh, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

See our pricing.

What affects the price in Crewe Toll

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When to call us in Crewe Toll

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Damaged tile edges

What to look for in a quote

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
