Trusted tile repair in Dorchester

How we handle tile repair in Dorchester

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We work on ceramic tiles, marble and natural stone & granite, and people most frequently call us about cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Dorchester as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Dorchester

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Most jobs done in one visit

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Questions from Dorchester

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Oxfordshire.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

How we price tile repair

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Dorchester. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
