Tile repair near Otterton

Tile repair at your home in Otterton

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Common call-outs are for drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, on porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

FAQs for Otterton

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Are there extra charges for Otterton?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Otterton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repair or replace in Otterton?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Otterton

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think before booking.
