How we handle tile repair in Dorcan
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Our technicians work on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and marble, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What else we do in Dorcan
How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Dorcan
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dorcan use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Swindon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repairing versus replacing in Dorcan
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- No extra charge for your area
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Our repair technicians cover all of the SN3, SN2 and SN99 postcode area and the streets around it. That includes homes on Edison Road, Nyland Road and Magpie Lane and the roads around them. Dorcan is on the A419, which makes it straightforward to reach. Close by, we cover Covingham (1 mile north), Nythe (1 mile north-west), Coate (1 mile south-west), Wanborough (1 mile south-east) and Badbury Wick (2 miles south). We also work in nearby towns such as Swindon (3 miles west), Royal Wootton Bassett (7 miles west), Haydon Wick (4 miles north-west), Priory Vale (4 miles north-west), Freshbrook (5 miles west) and Shaw (5 miles west).
Around Dorcan
We visit homes around Covingham Park Primary School, St Pauls Church Centre and Queens Park and the streets around them. Nearby too are The Stripey Badger pub (0.5 miles south-west) and The Dorcan Academy (under half a mile north-west). For rail, the closest station is Swindon station, about 2.4 miles west. Well-known places in the area include Great Western Hospital (1.3 miles south-west) and Rodbourne Cheney (2.7 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Charlbury Hill.
What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
- Marble
- Natural stone & granite
- Porcelain tiles
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice
Dorcan: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What areas do you cover?
All of Swindon, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you cover Dorcan?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Dorcan. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
