Tile repair at your home in Ashburton
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Common call-outs are for cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, across natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ashburton
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Floor and wall tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Marble
- Ceramic tiles
- Porcelain tiles
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What affects the price in Ashburton
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
For a price in Ashburton, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Questions from Ashburton
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Often, yes, if it isn’t loose.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you come to Ashburton?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ashburton. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
