Tile repair in Kelso, done in place
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. We are frequently asked to fix cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, across natural stone & granite, marble and ceramic tiles.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Porcelain tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Marble
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
Kelso: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of the Scottish Borders. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across the Scottish Borders.
When to call us in Kelso
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
The things customers typically mention when they call are:
- Cracked floor tiles
- Damaged tile edges
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Drill holes from removed fittings
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if they find more damage
- How long it needs to cure
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What affects the price in Kelso
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Kelso, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a 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. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
