About our tile repair in Gaunts
The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Typical jobs include discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, across ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Common questions in Gaunts
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Gaunts.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do you work in Gaunts?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Gaunts and the rest of Dorset. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are there extra charges for Gaunts?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Landlord and trade work in Gaunts
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
If you are in Gaunts and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
