Tile repair in Portland Bill, done in place

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We work on marble, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people contact us are drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found 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. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not 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 photos.

What affects the price in Portland Bill

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Portland Bill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Most clients in Portland Bill get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlord and trade work in Portland Bill

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
