About our tile repair in Polbeth
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 will tell you. Common call-outs are for cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, across ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Polbeth. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What we are called out for in Polbeth
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Damaged tile edges
- Cracked floor tiles
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Before we arrive
