Tile repair in Albaston without replacing anything
We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can normally put it right, on marble, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Where we work around Albaston
Albaston is about 4 miles south-west of Tavistock, in Cornwall. Clients in Albaston get the same service as everywhere else we cover: a fixed quote from pictures, then a visit to do the work. Albaston is one of 644 towns and villages in Cornwall we cover.
We work across PL18 and the streets around it. We also cover the places around Albaston: Drakewalls (1 mile north), Higher Dimson (1 mile north), St Ann's Chapel (1 mile north-west), Gunnislake (1 mile north-east) and Dimson (1 mile north).

Local landmarks in Albaston

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

When to call us in Albaston
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Damaged tile edges
What to look for in a quote
- Who will actually do the work
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the colour is matched
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Marble
- Ceramic tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Porcelain tiles
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
