How it works

- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Tile repair in Slateford without replacing anything
We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Our technicians work on natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles, and people most often call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
What else we do in Slateford
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- 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.

Common questions in Slateford
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
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.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What areas do you cover?
All of Edinburgh, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Do you need tile repair in Slateford?
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Damaged tile edges
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Cracked floor tiles
Comparing quotes
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
