Tile repair in Dunnet without replacing anything
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and marble, and common reasons people contact us are chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Preparing for the visit

What else we do in Dunnet
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
Common problems we fix in Dunnet
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damaged tile edges
- Cracked floor tiles
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Drill holes from removed fittings

Dunnet: your questions answered
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
