About our tile repair in Newlyn
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We regularly repair marble, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite, and people most frequently call us about cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Newlyn and across Cornwall. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Newlyn
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What else we do in Newlyn
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Your questions about tile repair in Newlyn
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Are there extra charges for Newlyn?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Does someone need to be in?

Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
