How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can

Tile repair in Wilton Dean, done in place
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We regularly repair floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and marble, and people most frequently call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Wilton Dean questions
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How much does tile repair cost in Wilton Dean?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Wilton Dean. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
