Landlords, agents and businesses in Lydlinch

If you manage property in Lydlinch, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dorset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Tile repair at your home in Lydlinch

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Our technicians work on porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

When to call us in Lydlinch

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

Our hiring checklist

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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.

What affects the price in Lydlinch

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

If you are in Lydlinch and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Questions from Lydlinch

Do you come to Lydlinch?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Lydlinch and the rest of Dorset. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What does tile repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
