How we handle tile repair in Hemerdon
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Landlord and trade work in Hemerdon
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For anyone letting property in or around Hemerdon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Repair or replace in Hemerdon?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Questions from Hemerdon
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
How much does tile repair cost in Hemerdon?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you cover the whole of Plymouth?
All of Plymouth, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

How it works

- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
