Tile repair in Charlestown, done in place
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite, and people most frequently call us about cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Charlestown use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
What affects the price in Charlestown
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it

- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire tiled area

Charlestown questions
Do you cover Charlestown?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Charlestown. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Usually, if it is not loose.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
How much does tile repair cost in Charlestown?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
