How we handle tile repair in Dolphinholme
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can usually put it right, on marble, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Dolphinholme: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Are there extra charges for Dolphinholme?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
When to call us in Dolphinholme
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Cracked floor tiles
- Damaged tile edges
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What aftercare is recommended
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
If you are in Dolphinholme and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
