Tile repair near Inverleith

Tile repair in Inverleith, done in place

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We work on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlord and trade work in Inverleith

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Inverleith. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

When to call us in Inverleith

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

The things clients normally mention when they call include:

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace

Questions to ask before you book

  • How to look after the finish
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • How long it needs to cure

Your questions about tile repair in Inverleith

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you work in Inverleith?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Inverleith. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

  • Work done at your home or business

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
