Tile repair near Lynstone

Tile repair in Lynstone without replacing anything

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We work on natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles, and people most often call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Lynstone. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

Common questions in Lynstone

The entire UK, including all of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Lynstone from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Landlord and trade work in Lynstone

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we’ll 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 level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
