Tile repair in Gunnislake, done in place
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you are dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, we can normally put it right.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

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 photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Ceramic tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Marble
- Floor and wall tiles
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Repair or replace in Gunnislake?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Gunnislake, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Do you need tile repair in Gunnislake?
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Damaged tile edges
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- How long it needs to cure
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
