Tile repair across Dorset: what to expect

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We’re often asked to fix damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles, across ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and marble.

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Pricing in Dorset

Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Near you in Weymouth

Typical jobs here are in homes near The Star Public House, Beechcroft St Pauls CofE Primary School and Nothe Gardens. Also close by are Budmouth College (1.2 miles west) and Church of St Paul (less than half a mile south). There is a railway station in Weymouth itself: Weymouth station. Further afield, we also cover the area around Portwey Hospital (0.6 miles south) and Weymouth Timewalk Museum (0.9 miles west). For a walk, there is Jordan Hill and Radipole Lake.

What affects the price in Dorset

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Dorset. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Landlord and trade work in Dorset

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Repair or replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile.

Comparing quotes

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Honest limits

To be straight with you, 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
