Tile repair for Golant homes

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Tile repair at your home in Golant

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We’re frequently asked to fix damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles, on natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and marble.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

FAQs for Golant

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before booking

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Golant

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
