Lochmaben questions
How much does tile repair cost in Lochmaben?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you cover the whole of Dumfries and Galloway?
All of Dumfries and Galloway, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Tile repair in Lochmaben, done in place
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Our technicians work on porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DG11 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Signs you need tile repair in Lochmaben
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.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Cracked floor tiles
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Damaged tile edges
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
- When it can be used again
- Aftercare advice

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
