Tile repair in Kelton, done in place
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If you are dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dumfries and Galloway and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DG1 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
