Trusted tile repair in Duddingston

Tile repair in Duddingston without replacing anything

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We are frequently asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, in porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and marble.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EH8 postcode.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

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

What affects the price in Duddingston

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Repairing versus replacing in Duddingston

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Read our pricing.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Duddingston

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For anyone letting property in or around Duddingston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
