Trusted tile repair in Hermiston

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

About our tile repair in Hermiston

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We work on porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For anyone letting property in or around Hermiston, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Hermiston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No extra charge for your area

Hermiston: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you cover Hermiston?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Hermiston and the rest of Edinburgh. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
