Tile repair at your home in Townsend

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Our technicians work on marble, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles, and people most often call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Before and after: damaged granite tiles repaired in place

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How to compare quotes

Common questions in Townsend

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Are there extra charges for Townsend?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Natural stone & granite
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Marble
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Porcelain tiles

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A few things move the price: 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.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Townsend, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dorset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

For anyone letting property in or around Townsend, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
