Landlord and trade work in Parkhead
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How we handle tile repair in Parkhead
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If you are dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Parkhead and across Edinburgh. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What else we do in Parkhead
How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Parkhead. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- 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’ll say what we think before you book.

Parkhead: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How much does tile repair cost in Parkhead?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
