Tile repair in Combe Pafford, done in place
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, we can help, on marble, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Combe Pafford. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you are in Combe Pafford and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Porcelain tiles
- Marble
- Ceramic tiles
