Cross Lanes: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Normally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
How do I get a price for tile repair in Cross Lanes?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How we handle tile repair in Cross Lanes
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. If you’re dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help, on natural stone & granite, marble and ceramic tiles alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Cross Lanes and across Dorset. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
