Common questions in Cockburnspath
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What areas do you cover?
All of the Scottish Borders, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Tile repair in Cockburnspath without replacing anything
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, we can normally put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

About tile repair
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cockburnspath. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
