How to compare quotes

Tile repair in Frogpool, done in place

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. If you are dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in Frogpool

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you come to Frogpool?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Frogpool and the rest of Cornwall. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

What does tile repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What affects the price in Frogpool

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Frogpool

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. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

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

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for 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’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
