Tile Repair in Isles of Scilly

About tile repair in the Isles of Scilly

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 will say so. We are frequently asked to fix damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, in natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles.

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Pricing in the Isles of Scilly

Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Common problems we fix in the Isles of Scilly

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Drill holes from removed fittings

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlords, agents and businesses in the Isles of Scilly

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

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