How we handle tile repair in Penzance

If a tile moves, it 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. We regularly repair marble, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles, and people most often call us about cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Penzance: your questions answered

Do you cover Penzance?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Penzance for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Often, yes, if it isn’t loose.

What does tile repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Most clients in Penzance get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When to call us in Penzance

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
