10 questions to ask before you book

Tile repair at your home in Paignton

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Our repair technicians work on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble, and people most often call us about damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How it works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Questions from Paignton

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Usually, if it isn’t loose.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 generally the cheaper route.

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 fails, we can still put it right.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Paignton. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TQ3 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

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

What you get with us
