Tile repair in Melbury Sampford, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, marble and natural stone & granite, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Melbury Sampford

Do you come to Melbury Sampford?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Melbury Sampford. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you cover the entire of Dorset?

All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Melbury Sampford, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Marble

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t 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.
