DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Tile repair in Little Canford without replacing anything
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We regularly repair natural stone & granite, marble and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Little Canford and across Dorset. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.
