Tile repair in Horton, done in place

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We work on marble, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Signs you need tile repair in Horton

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

Before you book anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Horton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

We price from pictures so you don’t 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

FAQs for Horton

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you cover the entire of Dorset?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Horton. Prices do not change with location.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What does tile repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you work in Horton?

We do. We send a technician to Horton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

What a repair can’t fix

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
