Tile repair at your home in Dottery

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Our hiring checklist

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Dottery

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Dottery. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dorset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Your questions about tile repair in Dottery

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Dottery?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Usually, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
