Tile repair for Charminster homes

Tile repair in Charminster without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We’re frequently asked to fix discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, on porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Charminster. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Common questions in Charminster

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Charminster?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Charminster

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
