What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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 photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EX8 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Tile repair at your home in Exmouth
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, we can help, on floor and wall tiles, marble and ceramic tiles alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Exmouth and across Devon. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Advice
When to call us in Exmouth
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Cracked floor tiles
Before booking anyone
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How soon you can use it again
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout

Questions from Exmouth
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
