Tile Repair across Bournemouth

Tile repair across Bournemouth: what to expect

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles, and people most often call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings.

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Local landmarks in Bournemouth

Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Church of St Alban, Queen's Park and St Luke's Church of England Primary School and the streets around them.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire tiled area

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

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

Common problems we fix in Bournemouth

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.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Drill holes from removed fittings

Can I fix it myself?

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

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is.

Your questions about tile repair in Bournemouth

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Bournemouth.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

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.
