About our tile repair in Dollar
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Our technicians work on floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite, and people most often call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Questions from Dollar
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How do I get a price for tile repair in Dollar?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Do you come to Dollar?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Dollar. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Repairing versus replacing in Dollar
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, 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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Dollar

What affects the price in Dollar
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
