Tile repair in Chelston without replacing anything
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people contact us are chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why Chelston customers choose us
- A fixed quote before you book
- Work done at your home or business
- Everything repaired in place
- Usually one visit, start to finish

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common questions in Chelston
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you cover the whole of Torbay?
We cover the entire UK, including Chelston and the rest of Torbay. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying

- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
