Tile repair for Lyme Regis homes

Tile repair in Lyme Regis without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, in ceramic tiles, marble and porcelain tiles.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Lyme Regis

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Lyme Regis: your questions answered

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire tiled area and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Do you work in Lyme Regis?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Lyme Regis from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Is my repair covered?

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

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, 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 will give you a straight answer.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Choosing a repair company

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
