Questions from Hornick

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you work in Hornick?

We do. We send a technician to Hornick for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?

The whole UK, including all of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

How much does tile repair cost in Hornick?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PL26 postcode.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Tile repair at your home in Hornick

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. If you are dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, we can help, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Hornick

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Common problems we fix in Hornick

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.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Damaged tile edges

Before you book anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in Hornick

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, 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. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
