About our tile repair in Philleigh
The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We’re frequently asked to fix discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, in marble, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Philleigh
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Repairing versus replacing in Philleigh
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Philleigh: your questions answered
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Generally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you are in Philleigh and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would 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 few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
