Tile Repair for Langholm homes
We travel to Langholm for chip, crack and drill-hole repairs to floor and wall tiles. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Cracked floor tiles
The process
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Most customers in Langholm get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Tile repair in Langholm, done in place
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, across natural stone & granite, marble and floor and wall tiles.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Langholm and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Langholm
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Langholm questions
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
