How we handle tile repair in Winterbourne Abbas
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on floor and wall tiles, marble and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people contact us are cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Winterbourne Abbas. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- Work done at your home or business
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One-year guarantee on every repair

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, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
What affects the price in Winterbourne Abbas
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
