Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Tile repair in Edinburgh Waterfront, done in place
We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We work on natural stone & granite, marble and porcelain tiles, and people most frequently call us about drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Edinburgh Waterfront
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you come to Edinburgh Waterfront?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Edinburgh Waterfront. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are there extra charges for Edinburgh Waterfront?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
