Related advice
Tile repair in Modbury, done in place
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We work on porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Common questions in Modbury
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What areas do you cover?
All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Modbury, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Repair or replace in Modbury?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole tiled area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
