About our tile repair in St Abbs
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We are frequently asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, on marble, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
