Tile repair in Cheston

Tile repair at your home in Cheston

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Cheston as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Questions from Cheston

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cheston

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Cheston. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back

If you are in Cheston and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. 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.
