Common problems we fix in Newton of Falkland

Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Damaged tile edges
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Cracked floor tiles
In the older streets of Newton of Falkland, around landmarks like Lathrisk, old tiles are hard to match, so repairing a damaged one keeps the original floor.

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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Ceramic tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Marble
- Floor and wall tiles
- Natural stone & granite
Repairing versus replacing in Newton of Falkland
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. For a rural home like those around Newton of Falkland, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while tile repair is one trip.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
