Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Tile repair in Bickleigh, done in place

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Whether it’s damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles, we can normally put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about tile repair in Bickleigh

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Bickleigh?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you cover the whole of Plymouth?

All of Plymouth, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Landlord and trade work in Bickleigh

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Plymouth and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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