Tile repair in Hatherleigh

Tile repair at your home in Hatherleigh

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

When a repair is not the answer

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Porcelain tiles
  • Marble
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Ceramic tiles

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby 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 clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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.

Repair or replace in Hatherleigh?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
