Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can help, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Stratton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most customers in Stratton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

Advice
Stratton and the surrounding area
Stratton is about 3 miles north-west of Dorchester, in Dorset. Anywhere in DT2, a technician comes to you. We cover all 462 towns and villages in Dorset.
We work across the DT2 postcode area. That includes homes on Dorchester Road, Bull Close and Mill Lane. Neighbouring places we cover include Bradford Peverell (1 mile south-east), Charminster (2 miles east), Charlton Down (2 miles north-east), Godmanstone (2 miles north) and Dorchester (3 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include Weymouth (9 miles south), Bridport (11 miles west), Sherborne (14 miles north), Portland (14 miles south), Rodwell (9 miles south) and Melcombe Regis (9 miles south).
Around Stratton
We visit homes around Church of St Mary. The nearest railway station is Dorchester West station, roughly 3.2 miles south-east of the centre. Further afield, we also cover the area around Herrison Hospital (1.7 miles east) and Tutankhamun Exhibition (3.1 miles south-east). For a walk, there is Hog Cliff and Nunnery Mead.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
