Tile repair in Scottish Borders without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Whether it’s drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, we can generally put it right, on porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles alike.

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 clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Ceramic tiles
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Marble
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Floor and wall tiles

Common problems we fix in Scottish Borders

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.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Scottish Borders: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Do you cover the entire of Northumberland?

Everywhere in the UK, Scottish Borders included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do you come to Scottish Borders?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Scottish Borders for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Are there extra charges for Scottish Borders?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

The process

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
