Trusted tile repair in Escalls

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

  • Porcelain tiles
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Marble
  • Floor and wall tiles

Tile repair in Escalls without replacing anything

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. We are frequently asked to fix damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, across porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Escalls

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Escalls

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Questions from Escalls

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Often, yes, if it is not loose.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Is there a guarantee?

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

We do. Technicians travel to Escalls from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
