Repairing versus replacing in Gwavas

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

  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Tile repair in Gwavas, done in place

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can typically put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Gwavas and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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 photos.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

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

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gwavas

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Questions from Gwavas

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Are there extra charges for Gwavas?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Often, yes, if it is not loose.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?

All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Gwavas. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Do you need tile repair in Gwavas?

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

Questions to ask before booking

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What prep work is covered
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

How to compare quotes

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
