Tile repair at your home in Eddleston

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can help, on marble, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles alike.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Scottish Borders. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Eddleston

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Eddleston. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your EH45 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Your questions about tile repair in Eddleston

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How much does tile repair cost in Eddleston?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Landlord and trade work in Eddleston

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
