How we handle tile repair in Penstone
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you are dealing with damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Penstone: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Typically, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

What else we do in Penstone
How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- 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
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
