How we handle tile repair in Muirhouses
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Common call-outs are for damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, across marble, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can give you a fixed price.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts

- Whether the colour is mixed to match

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repair or replace in Muirhouses?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
