How we handle tile repair in Blackdown

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Our technicians work on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people contact us are damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Blackdown

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blackdown use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

FAQs for Blackdown

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do you cover Blackdown?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Blackdown. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

  • Marble
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Porcelain tiles

When to call us in Blackdown

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Damaged tile edges
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Blackdown. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
