Tile Repair in Plompton
Fixed-price tile repair in Plompton and the surrounding area, typically in one visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Damaged tile edges
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Tile repair in Plompton without replacing anything
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, across marble, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Plompton
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you’re in Plompton and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- 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
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
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 reply with a fixed quote.

- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 will not last.
What else we do in Plompton
Repair or replace in Plompton?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
