Pencaitland: your questions answered

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you cover Pencaitland?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Pencaitland and the rest of East Lothian. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What areas do you cover?

All of East Lothian, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Pencaitland?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Tile repair in Pencaitland, done in place

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles, and people most frequently call us about damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Pencaitland

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Pencaitland. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pencaitland

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in East Lothian and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What we’re called out for in Pencaitland

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace

Questions to ask before booking

10 questions to ask before you book

When we would advise against a repair

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Pencaitland. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

For a price in Pencaitland, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
