Trusted tile repair in Bournemouth

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Tile repair in Bournemouth without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can generally put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we can’t put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Bournemouth: your questions answered

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

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.

Do you cover Bournemouth?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Bournemouth from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How much does tile repair cost in Bournemouth?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.

What affects the price in Bournemouth

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Do you need tile repair 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.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Cracked floor tiles

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How your room will be protected
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
