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.
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. 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.

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
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Bath and North East Somerset. Send your postcode with your pictures 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.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dunkerton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- Something in shot to show the size
We price from photos 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 you’ll get a fixed figure back.
