Tile repair in Sturminster Marshall, done in place
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, we can help, on marble, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

FAQs for Sturminster Marshall
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What does tile repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Dorset.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Repairing versus replacing in Sturminster Marshall

What affects the price in Sturminster Marshall
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
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.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sturminster Marshall as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
