Tile repair in Cockwells

Tile repair in Cockwells without replacing anything

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. If you’re dealing with cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Cockwells

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

Common questions in Cockwells

How much does tile repair cost in Cockwells?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Cockwells and the rest of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What affects the price in Cockwells

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cockwells

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When to call us in Cockwells

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
