How we handle tile repair in Walkerburn
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Typical jobs include discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles, across marble, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace in Walkerburn?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
Walkerburn: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
How much does tile repair cost in Walkerburn?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
If you manage property in Walkerburn, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
