Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
About our tile repair in Hayle
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, across ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Getting ready for the visit

- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- 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 will say what we think.
