Tile repair in Peebles without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

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. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

If you manage property in Peebles, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Peebles. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Drill holes from removed fittings

FAQs for Peebles

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you cover the entire of the Scottish Borders?

Everywhere in the UK, Peebles included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
