How we handle tile repair in Higher Kingcombe

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, in marble, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Higher Kingcombe: your questions answered

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Do you cover Higher Kingcombe?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Higher Kingcombe and the rest of Dorset. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

When to call us in Higher Kingcombe

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Natural stone & granite
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Marble
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Floor and wall tiles

The process

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Landlord and trade work in Higher Kingcombe

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back

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, and you will get a fixed figure back.
