Tile repair at your home in Liberton

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We work on ceramic tiles, marble and porcelain tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Liberton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Liberton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Your questions about tile repair in Liberton

Do you cover Liberton?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Liberton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you cover the entire of Edinburgh?

The whole UK, including all of Edinburgh. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Liberton

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
