Tile repair in West Pilton

How we handle tile repair in West Pilton

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t 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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to West Pilton. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in West Pilton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Edinburgh and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Take a look at our prices page.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  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. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
