About our tile repair in Waddon

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, in floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite.

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

What affects the price in Waddon

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Waddon. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

When to call us in Waddon

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Drill holes from removed fittings

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Waddon

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

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
