About our tile repair in Looe
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble, and the jobs we see most are damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should you replace it?

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Looe. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can price the job.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Questions from Looe
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
