About our tile repair in Torthorwald
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We’re often asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, in marble, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles.
Somewhere like Torthorwald, older homes may still have their original floors, which are worth keeping. A repair keeps them.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Torthorwald and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Torthorwald. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole tiled area
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- 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’ll say what we think.
What we work on

Common questions in Torthorwald
I let a flat near Dumfries station. Can you help between tenants?
Yes, landlords and agents book us regularly.
Can you restore the original tiles in an older house in Torthorwald?
In most cases: original pieces are frequently better made and harder to replace. Send photos and we’ll advise.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Torthorwald
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. In an older home in a village like Torthorwald, replacing a tiled area can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.
Our tile repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Torthorwald. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- A fixed quote before you book
