Tile repair at your home in Axbridge

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair marble, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Somerset. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Axbridge

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

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

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Axbridge and the rest of Somerset. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What we can’t put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Axbridge use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Axbridge

  • Everything repaired in place
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We leave the room as we found it
