Tile repair in East Pilton, done in place
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 say so. We work on marble, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in East Pilton
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Generally, if it isn’t loose.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What does tile repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EH4 postcode.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Repairing versus replacing in East Pilton
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for East Pilton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EH4 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
