Tile repair near Padstow

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Padstow. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Padstow customers choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • No need to remove anything
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Take a look at our full price list.

How we handle tile repair in Padstow

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 will say so. Our repair technicians work on floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Questions from Padstow

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Will the price change on the day?

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

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you don’t 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.

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
