Tile repair in Bickleigh without replacing anything
We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Other services in Bickleigh
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
When a repair isn’t the answer
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
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in Bickleigh
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
