DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we handle tile repair in Bocombe
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If you’re dealing with damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles, we can help.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace in Bocombe?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Bocombe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bocombe
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
