A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles, we can normally put it right, on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. 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
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What affects the price in Coombe
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Coombe. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Coombe
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can landlords book you?

What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you work in Coombe?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Coombe and the rest of Devon. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do I have to be there?

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
