Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Tile repair at your home in Polbathic
We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We regularly repair natural stone & granite, marble and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
When to call us in Polbathic
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- Cracked floor tiles
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Damaged tile edges

What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Questions from Polbathic
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you cover Polbathic?
We do. We send a technician to Polbathic for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What else we do in Polbathic
What affects the price in Polbathic
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Polbathic. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire tiled area
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
