What affects the price in Latchley
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Tile repair in Latchley, done in place
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our repair technicians work on marble, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price

Questions from Latchley
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Normally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
