How we handle tile repair in Compton
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, in floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and marble.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Questions from Compton
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Plymouth. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Compton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Compton
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Compton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Compton. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Do you need tile repair in Compton?
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Cracked floor tiles
- Damaged tile edges
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- How soon you can use it again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot 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 will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Natural stone & granite
- Ceramic tiles
- Marble
- Floor and wall tiles
- Porcelain tiles
