Repairing versus replacing in Luxulyan

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How we handle tile repair in Luxulyan

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. We work on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite, and the jobs we see most are damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Luxulyan. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you are in Luxulyan and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

10 questions to ask before booking

Common questions in Luxulyan

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

What areas do you cover?

All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Often, yes, if it isn’t loose.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
