Tile repair at your home in Knowle
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. If you are dealing with cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help, on floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace in Knowle?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Knowle. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Related advice
Knowle: your questions answered
How do I get a price for tile repair in Knowle?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Generally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you work in Knowle?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Knowle from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What else we do in Knowle
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Knowle
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Devon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
