Tile repair for Closeburn homes

How we handle tile repair in Closeburn

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Whether it’s drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, we can help.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Closeburn and across Dumfries and Galloway. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Closeburn

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Questions from Closeburn

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

When to call us in Closeburn

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Damaged tile edges

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can price the job.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Closeburn

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For anyone letting property in or around Closeburn, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
