Tile repair at your home in Whitecraig
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help, on marble, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Whitecraig. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your EH21 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Whitecraig: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What does tile repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
