Tile Repair for Musselburgh homes
Problem with your tiled area in Musselburgh? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
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.
Tile repair at your home in Musselburgh
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Our technicians work on floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and marble, and common reasons people get in touch are drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace in Musselburgh?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
There’s 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 reply with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Musselburgh

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

- 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.
