Tile repair in Motcombe

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

About our tile repair in Motcombe

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and marble, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SP7 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Motcombe

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Motcombe included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you come to Motcombe?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Motcombe. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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.

Repairing versus replacing in Motcombe

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Motcombe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
