Tile repair in Laddenvean

Tile repair in Laddenvean without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Laddenvean questions

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Cornwall.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?

We cover the whole UK, including Laddenvean and the rest of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

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

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Laddenvean. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Laddenvean, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
