Tile repair in Alweston

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Tile repair in Alweston without replacing anything

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you’re dealing with damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can normally put it right, on marble, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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 compare quotes

What affects the price in Alweston

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Alweston. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Alweston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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 will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Natural stone & granite
  • Marble

Landlords, agents and businesses in Alweston

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Alweston as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Questions from Alweston

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Dorset.

Do you cover the entire of Dorset?

Across the UK, and that includes Alweston. Prices don’t change with location.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Repair or replace in Alweston?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
