Tile Repair for Laira homes
Tile repair across Laira and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Plymouth and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Tile repair in Laira without replacing anything
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We are often asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, on porcelain tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Your questions about tile repair in Laira
Do you cover Laira?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Laira from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’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 will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Natural stone & granite
- Ceramic tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Floor and wall tiles

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. 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.
