Tile repair in Gilmerton, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Our technicians work on floor and wall tiles, marble and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Gilmerton questions

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you cover the entire of Perth and Kinross?

Everywhere in the UK, Gilmerton included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gilmerton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Common problems we fix in Gilmerton

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.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Damaged tile edges

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Choosing a repair company

How it works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

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

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Gilmerton. The price comes down to:

  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Most clients in Gilmerton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Natural stone & granite
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Marble
  • Floor and wall tiles

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Gilmerton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Gilmerton clients choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
