Repairing versus replacing in Barnstaple
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Around Barnstaple, a new tiled area rarely matches what’s around it, while a repair keeps everything as it is.
Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring all our kit in the van, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work. All we need in Barnstaple is access to the room and a parking space nearby. One visit is normally enough.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
Do you need tile repair in Barnstaple?
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
- Cracked floor tiles
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
For older houses around Barnstaple, near landmarks such as Holy Trinity Church, old tiles are hard to match, so repairing a damaged one keeps the original floor.
Before booking anyone

- When it can be used again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
