Tile repair in Helston

How we handle tile repair in Helston

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. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, on marble, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Helston

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What does tile repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a repair cannot fix

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Helston

For anyone letting property in or around Helston, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What affects the price in Helston

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
