About our tile repair in Winchester
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. We work on marble, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people contact us are drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- 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 will say what we think.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Winchester
- Everything repaired in place
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Same prices wherever you are

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- The material
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 photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Winchester: your questions answered
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Hampshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do you work in Winchester?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Winchester. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Normally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Landlord and trade work in Winchester
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
