Tile repair for Knowstone homes

Tile repair in Knowstone without replacing anything

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 tell you. Common call-outs are for cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, in natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Knowstone and across Devon. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Marble
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Natural stone & granite

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Take a look at our full price list.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

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

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Our hiring checklist

Knowstone: your questions answered

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Are there extra charges for Knowstone?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Knowstone. Prices don’t change with location.

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.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
