About our tile repair in Dolphin Town
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Typical jobs include cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, across ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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.

Dolphin Town: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Dolphin Town. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Dolphin Town included. Travel is included in the price.
How do I get a price for tile repair in Dolphin Town?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Dolphin Town.

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire tiled area
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TR24 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Dolphin Town?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
