Tile repair in Fairmilehead without replacing anything
We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Common call-outs are for cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, in floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Signs you need tile repair in Fairmilehead
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- Colour-matched on site
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 typically cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Marble
- Floor and wall tiles
- Porcelain tiles

Your questions about tile repair in Fairmilehead
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
When can you do it?

Do you come to Fairmilehead?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Fairmilehead for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Do you cover the entire of Edinburgh?

Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Fairmilehead. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
