How we handle tile repair in Bodley
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. If you have chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, we can normally put it right.
In a village like Bodley, older homes may have tiled or wooden floors that have been down for years, so a replacement rarely matches. Repairing the damage keeps the original.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare. Somewhere as small as Bodley, access is normally the main thing to plan. Once we are there, the tile repair works exactly as anywhere else.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes cost nothing and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Bodley: your questions answered
Do you take on commercial work in Bodley?
Yes. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations and work for schools, leisure centres and businesses. Tell us about access and timings for the building.
Do you cover villages like Bodley?
We do: small places like Bodley are covered as standard. Tell us if access is tricky.
Do you come to Bodley?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Bodley and the rest of Devon. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you need tile repair in Bodley?
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Damaged tile edges
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Drill holes from removed fittings
We also work for schools, leisure centres and businesses, so if you care for a building such as Parracombe Church of England Primary School, tiled corridors and washrooms can be repaired in place too.
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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 usually cheaper.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bodley
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bodley as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
What affects the price in Bodley
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bodley. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you are in Bodley and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Bodley
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. In an older home in a village like Bodley, replacing a tiled area can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
