Tile repair for Hick's Mill homes

Tile repair in Hick's Mill without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We work on floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Hick's Mill and across Cornwall. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

For landlords and businesses

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 is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What we can’t put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 before you book.

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

Your questions about tile repair in Hick's Mill

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Usually, if it isn’t loose.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Advice

What affects the price in Hick's Mill

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire tiled area

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When to call us in Hick's Mill

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Look out for these signs:

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

Before booking anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
