Common questions in Longrock
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Are there extra charges for Longrock?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you work in Longrock?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Longrock from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Tile repair in Longrock, 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. We work on floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles, and people most often call us about damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Longrock. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
If you’re in Longrock and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we’re called out for in Longrock
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Repairing versus replacing in Longrock
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
