Landlords, agents and businesses in Dunbar
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Tile repair in Dunbar without replacing anything
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite, and people most frequently call us about damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
When to call us in Dunbar
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
The things clients normally mention when they call are:
- Damaged tile edges
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace

- How to care for the finish
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether a trained technician does the job
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout

Why repair rather than replace?
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. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Questions from Dunbar
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
