How we handle tile repair in Chedington
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Common call-outs are for cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, in ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What affects the price in Chedington
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Common questions in Chedington
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Dorset.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Are there extra charges for Chedington?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dorset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
