Oborne: your questions answered
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole tiled area and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How we handle tile repair in Oborne
The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Whether it’s damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help, whatever the material.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What we are called out for in Oborne
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Cracked floor tiles
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Damaged tile edges
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who will actually do the work
- How to care for the finish
What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Floor and wall tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Marble
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repairing versus replacing in Oborne
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Oborne. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- A fixed quote before booking
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Oborne. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
