How we handle tile repair in Portland
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, in porcelain tiles, marble and natural stone & granite.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout

What else we do in Portland
How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Portland. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
FAQs for Portland
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
How much does tile repair cost in Portland?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DT5 postcode.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What areas do you cover?

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
