Tile repair in Ulwell, done in place
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Our repair technicians work on marble, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people contact us are damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Ulwell
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Signs you need tile repair in Ulwell
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Cracked floor tiles
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
- When it can be used again
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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 photos and we will say what we think before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
Ulwell: your questions answered
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
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.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How much does tile repair cost in Ulwell?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole tiled area and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Other services in Ulwell
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dorset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
