Tile repair in Dolton

How we handle tile repair in Dolton

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, across marble, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Dolton and across Devon. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Dolton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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 will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Natural stone & granite
  • Marble
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Porcelain tiles
