Tile repair in Kenwyn, done in place
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. We work on ceramic tiles, marble and natural stone & granite, and people most frequently call us about drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Kenwyn. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TR1 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Your questions about tile repair in Kenwyn
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
