Trusted tile repair in Inveresk

How we handle tile repair in Inveresk

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. If you are dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, we can usually put it right, on porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble alike.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Lothian. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 will say what we think.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

10 questions to ask before booking

Inveresk questions

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Inveresk. Prices do not change with location.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do I have to be there?

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

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

The process

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
