Tile repair near Kirkliston

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Tile repair at your home in Kirkliston

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If you’re dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Questions from Kirkliston

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

How much does tile repair cost in Kirkliston?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Usually, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Landlord and trade work in Kirkliston

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Edinburgh and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • 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 before booking.

Materials we work on in Kirkliston

  • Natural stone & granite
  • Ceramic tiles

Do you need tile repair in Kirkliston?

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Kirkliston. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

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.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
