Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
How we handle tile repair in Howden Hall
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 say so. Our technicians work on porcelain tiles, marble and natural stone & granite, and people most frequently call us about cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically 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.

Common questions in Howden Hall
Do I have to be there?
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.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Usually, if it isn’t loose.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Howden Hall. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
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.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
