  • Drill holes from removed fittings

Choosing a repair company

Tile repair in Higher Row, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If you are dealing with damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace in Higher Row?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

  • Fixed prices from your pictures

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Related advice

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Questions from Higher Row

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Higher Row and the rest of Dorset. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
