Tile repair in Ancrum, done in place
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 will tell you. We work on porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and marble, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Ancrum and across the Scottish Borders. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What else we do in Ancrum
Common questions in Ancrum
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What does tile repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TD8 postcode.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Ancrum. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
If you are in Ancrum and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What we’re called out for in Ancrum
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Cracked floor tiles
- Drill holes from removed fittings
