Our technicians come to Denholm for chip, crack and drill-hole repairs to floor and wall tiles. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Damaged tile edges
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Tile repair in Denholm, done in place
We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Typical jobs include cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, across natural stone & granite, marble and porcelain tiles.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Denholm as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Repairing versus replacing in Denholm
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Common questions in Denholm
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you cover the whole of the Scottish Borders?
The entire UK, including all of the Scottish Borders. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
