Tile repair for Pentewan homes

About our tile repair in Pentewan

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Our technicians work on floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people contact us are chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Pentewan and across Cornwall. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Same prices wherever you are

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Pentewan: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Pentewan.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What affects the price in Pentewan

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Pentewan. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
