Trusted tile repair in Hele

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Tile repair in Hele without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Typical jobs include cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, on marble, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Your questions about tile repair in Hele

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Do you cover the entire of Devon?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hele. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
