How we handle tile repair in Kilmington

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. If you’re dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

FAQs for Kilmington

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you cover the whole of Devon?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Kilmington. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
