About our tile repair in Penryn
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 will tell you. Whether it’s damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Do you need tile repair in Penryn?
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Damaged tile edges
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Landlord and trade work in Penryn
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Penryn as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Your questions about tile repair in Penryn
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
