Tile repair in Jacobstowe

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Tile repair at your home in Jacobstowe

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Our technicians work on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlord and trade work in Jacobstowe

For anyone letting property in or around Jacobstowe, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Jacobstowe. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most clients in Jacobstowe get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Marble
  • Floor and wall tiles

Jacobstowe questions

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Jacobstowe and the rest of Devon. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Devon.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Usually, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
