Tile repair at your home in Dowsby

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles, we can help, on porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dowsby

For anyone letting property in or around Dowsby, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, 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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

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

  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. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Your questions about tile repair in Dowsby

Do you work in Dowsby?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Dowsby and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole tiled area and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

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

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our pricing.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole tiled area

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PE10 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
