About our tile repair in Dirleton

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Our technicians work on porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite, and people most frequently call us about damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically 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

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most customers in Dirleton get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Dirleton

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Damaged tile edges
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Cracked floor tiles

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about tile repair in Dirleton

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you work in Dirleton?

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

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

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

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dirleton

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repairing versus replacing in Dirleton

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
