Elrig: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you cover the entire of Dumfries and Galloway?
Everywhere in the UK, Elrig included. Travel is included in the price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are there extra charges for Elrig?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Elrig
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How to prepare
