Tile repair in Powderhall

Tile repair at your home in Powderhall

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Our technicians work on marble, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people contact us are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlord and trade work in Powderhall

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For anyone letting property in or around Powderhall, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Porcelain tiles
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Marble
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Natural stone & granite

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Powderhall questions

How much does tile repair cost in Powderhall?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your EH6 postcode.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Do you work in Powderhall?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Powderhall. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged 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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
