How we handle tile repair in Littledown
We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We work on marble, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles, and people most often call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Littledown. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Your questions about tile repair in Littledown
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Littledown. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What does tile repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you cover Littledown?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Littledown from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Repair or replace: which is better?
