10 questions to ask before you book

Tile repair at your home in Compton Abbas

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Typical jobs include damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, across marble, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Compton Abbas, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

FAQs for Compton Abbas

Do you cover the entire of Dorset?

We cover the entire UK, including Compton Abbas and the rest of Dorset. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Usually, if it isn’t loose.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Repair or replace in Compton Abbas?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
