About our tile repair in Holbeton
The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. If you are dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles, we can help, on natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Holbeton
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Holbeton questions
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Holbeton.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
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.
What we are called out for in Holbeton
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- Damaged tile edges
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
- Cracked floor tiles
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who turns up on the day
- How the room is protected while they work
Landlords, agents and businesses in Holbeton
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Holbeton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Other services in Holbeton
What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Holbeton
- Marble
- Floor and wall tiles

What affects the price in Holbeton
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
