How we handle tile repair in Instow
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Typical jobs include discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, in natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Instow: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Instow. Prices do not change with location.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
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.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- 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. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your EX39 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we do, step by step

- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage

Repairing versus replacing in Instow
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile 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 pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Rooms protected and left tidy
See our prices page.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Do you need tile repair in Instow?
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Cracked floor tiles
- Damaged tile edges

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Instow as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
