Your questions about tile repair in Silverknowes
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Silverknowes is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
About our tile repair in Silverknowes
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Our technicians work on floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Silverknowes and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.
How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Silverknowes. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
