Tile repair in East Saltoun without replacing anything
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Our technicians work on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Landlords, agents and businesses in East Saltoun
For anyone letting property in or around East Saltoun, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
