Tile repair for Dunbury homes

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Dunbury, and we will reply with a fixed price.

About our tile repair in Dunbury

We repair the tile in place, 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 repair technicians work on natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles, and people most frequently call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Dunbury. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • Any details about the material

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Your questions about tile repair in Dunbury

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.

What does tile repair cost?

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 DT11 postcode.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

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

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Dunbury. Prices don’t change with location.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Dunbury, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Repairing versus replacing in Dunbury

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
