Tile repair near Newtown

Common questions in Newtown

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

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

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TR12 postcode.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Are there extra charges for Newtown?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Tile repair in Newtown without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our repair technicians work on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and marble, and people most frequently call us about drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Newtown

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
