What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Tile repair in Yetminster, done in place

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If you’re dealing with damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

FAQs for Yetminster

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Yetminster?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Typically, if it is not loose.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What we’re called out for in Yetminster

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.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Damaged tile edges

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Yetminster

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
