Tile repair in Newtown 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 say so. Our repair technicians work on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite, and people most often call us about cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Newtown as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  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 recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Newtown. The price reflects:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Newtown questions

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

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

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Normally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

How to compare quotes

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Ceramic tiles
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Marble
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Floor and wall tiles

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Newtown, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repair or replace in Newtown?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Newtown. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
