How we handle tile repair in Silton
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 tell you. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, across ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Silton and across Dorset. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

FAQs for Silton
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Landlords, agents and businesses in Silton
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Silton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Silton. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
