DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Common questions in Castle Douglas
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What does tile repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Castle Douglas. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
