Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Tile repair in Ratho, done in place
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, across ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Ratho: your questions answered
Do you cover Ratho?
We do. Technicians travel to Ratho from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you cover the entire of Edinburgh?
Everywhere in the UK, Ratho included. Travel is included in the price.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Generally, if it is not loose.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Ratho. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One price list for the whole UK
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One-year guarantee on every repair

How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
What affects the price in Ratho
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Ratho. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Most clients in Ratho get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
