About our tile repair in Helford Passage

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If you are dealing with cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, we can help.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Helford Passage as everywhere else we work. 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

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Our hiring checklist

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Helford Passage. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Landlord and trade work in Helford Passage

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Helford Passage: your questions answered

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Are there extra charges for Helford Passage?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How soon can you come?

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

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Normally, if it is not loose.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
