Tile repair in Fordington, done in place
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, we can help.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Fordington: your questions answered
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Dorset. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
Places near Fordington
Also in Fordington
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What affects the price in Fordington
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Fordington. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
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 photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from photos so you do not 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.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t 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
- Ceramic tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Marble
- Natural stone & granite
