Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How we handle tile repair in Middle Dimson
The tile stays where it is, 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. If you’re dealing with damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Middle Dimson
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
How much does tile repair cost in Middle Dimson?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, if it is not loose.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently 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.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Middle Dimson. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can price the job without visiting.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
