How we handle tile repair in East Linton
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and marble, and people most often call us about cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Lothian. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
East Linton questions
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do you cover the whole of East Lothian?
The entire UK, including all of East Lothian. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Repairing versus replacing in East Linton
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95.
