About our tile repair in Cove Bay
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. We regularly repair natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Cove Bay and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Cove Bay
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Your questions about tile repair in Cove Bay
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you work in Cove Bay?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Cove Bay from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
