How we handle tile repair in South Portobello
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, in ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- 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.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What affects the price in South Portobello
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for South Portobello. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

FAQs for South Portobello
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you cover the whole of Edinburgh?
We cover the whole UK, including South Portobello and the rest of Edinburgh. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
