Tile repair for Maer homes

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

Tile repair in Maer without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We’re often asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, across porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Maer use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why Maer customers choose us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Maer: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Maer and the rest of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Maer?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
