Trusted tile repair in Plaidy

Tile repair in Plaidy without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can usually put it right, on natural stone & granite, marble and floor and wall tiles alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

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 normally cheaper.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Common questions in Plaidy

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Generally, if it is not loose.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?

We cover the whole UK, including Plaidy and the rest of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

When to call us in Plaidy

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Drill holes from removed fittings

Before booking anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price covers travel

Choosing a repair company

What a repair can’t fix

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Marble
  • Ceramic tiles

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No extra charge for your area

What affects the price in Plaidy

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Plaidy. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
