Tile repair in Penponds without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We work on porcelain tiles, marble and natural stone & granite, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Penponds and across Cornwall. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

Do the materials smell?

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

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Landlords, agents and businesses in Penponds

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.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t 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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What affects the price in Penponds

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we’re called out for in Penponds

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, 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, and the work is guaranteed.
