Tile repair near Fernieside

Tile repair in Fernieside without replacing anything

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If you are dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can typically put it right.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Fernieside and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How to compare quotes

Your questions about tile repair in Fernieside

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EH17 postcode.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Edinburgh.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Fernieside. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fernieside

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Fernieside, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One price list for the whole UK

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
