How we handle tile repair in Axtown
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We are often asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, on natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a 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. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Axtown as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
If you are in Axtown and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Common questions in Axtown
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you work in Axtown?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Axtown from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

We cover the whole UK, including Axtown and the rest of Devon. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
