Dowlish Ford questions

How much does tile repair cost in Dowlish Ford?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your TA19 postcode.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Are there extra charges for Dowlish Ford?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How we handle tile repair in Dowlish Ford

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Our technicians work on marble, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles, and people most often call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges.

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.

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Dowlish Ford

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

  • Ceramic tiles

Repairing versus replacing in Dowlish Ford

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • A fixed quote before booking

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Dowlish Ford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TA19 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

When to call us in Dowlish Ford

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

The things clients normally mention when they call are:

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Cracked floor tiles
