How we handle tile repair in Polruan

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. If you’re dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Polruan and across Cornwall. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

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

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  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.

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 generally cheaper.

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.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

  • Something in shot to show the size
