About our tile repair in Old Pentland
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you’re dealing with cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in Old Pentland
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you cover the whole of Midlothian?
Everywhere in the UK, Old Pentland included. Travel is included in the price.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Often, yes, if it is not loose.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For a price in Old Pentland, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
