Tile repair in Dawlish Warren without replacing anything

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. We work on marble, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles, and people most frequently call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What affects the price in Dawlish Warren

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Dawlish Warren. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Dawlish Warren questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What does tile repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Usually, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
