Tile repair near Blackawton

Tile repair at your home in Blackawton

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Typical jobs include cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, in ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Your questions about tile repair in Blackawton

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Blackawton included. Travel is included in the price.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Landlord and trade work in Blackawton

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TQ9 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

10 questions to ask before you book

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t 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.

What we work on

  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Marble
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Porcelain tiles

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
