Advice
How we handle tile repair in Dinder
The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We work on porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What else we do in Dinder
Landlords, agents and businesses in Dinder
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Questions from Dinder
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Normally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Do you cover Dinder?
We do. Technicians travel to Dinder from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BA5 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
