How we handle tile repair in Dunkerton
We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Our technicians work on floor and wall tiles, marble and ceramic tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
In a village like Dunkerton, older homes may have tiled or wooden floors that have been down for years, and matching them is difficult. Repairing the damage keeps the original.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Dunkerton as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. For a rural home like those around Dunkerton, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while a repair is a single visit.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

When to call us in Dunkerton
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Damaged tile edges
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Cracked floor tiles
If you live in one of the older homes near a church such as Church of All Saints, old tiles are hard to match, so repairing a damaged one keeps the original floor.
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different 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’ll say what we think before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Dunkerton: your questions answered
Can you restore the original tiles in an older house in Dunkerton?
Generally: period pieces can be hard to match if replaced. We’ll give you an honest view from pictures.
Do you work for landlords with property near Oldfield Park station?
Yes, we often work between tenancies, and several addresses can be quoted together.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Bath and North East Somerset. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
