Tile repair at your home in Ripley
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, on floor and wall tiles, marble and ceramic tiles.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ripley as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we are called out for in Ripley
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
Common reasons people in Ripley contact us are:
- Cracked floor tiles
- Damaged tile edges
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What prep work is covered
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
When we would advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- 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 before booking.

How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
For anyone letting property in or around Ripley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Ripley: your questions answered
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What areas do you cover?
All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Are there extra charges for Ripley?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
