How we handle tile repair in Holyrood
We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We are frequently asked to fix damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, in ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
If you’re in Holyrood and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Colour-matched on site
- One visit for most repairs

- 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 will say what we think before you book.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Holyrood use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What we are called out for in Holyrood
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracked floor tiles
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Damaged tile edges
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How changes to the job are handled
- What prep work is covered
- How soon you can use it again
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
