What affects the price in Loders
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Loders. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from pictures 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 we will come back with a fixed figure.
How we handle tile repair in Loders
We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Our technicians work on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and marble, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Loders and across Dorset. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- 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’ll say what we think before you book.

What else we do in Loders
Loders: your questions answered
Do you come to Loders?
We do. Technicians travel to Loders from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How do I get a price for tile repair in Loders?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Are there extra charges for Loders?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What we’re called out for in Loders
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Cracked floor tiles
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What prep work is covered
- When it can be used again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Loders as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
