Tile repair near Filham

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PL21 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Tile repair in Filham, done in place

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We regularly repair marble, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite, and people most frequently call us about cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Filham as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Filham: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

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

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Do you cover the entire of Devon?

We cover the whole UK, including Filham and the rest of Devon. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

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

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

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Repair or replace in Filham?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Take a look at our full price list.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • 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 before you book.
