Tile repair in Child Okeford without replacing anything
We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Common call-outs are for drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, across porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Child Okeford, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not 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 photos.
FAQs for Child Okeford
Are there extra charges for Child Okeford?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
