Tile repair in Cornworthy without replacing anything
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, on marble, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, 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
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Porcelain tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Marble
- Ceramic tiles

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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.
Your questions about tile repair in Cornworthy
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

What does tile repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you quote from photos?

What affects the price in Cornworthy
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Cornworthy. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
