Trusted tile repair in Polsloe

Tile repair in Polsloe without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. We are frequently asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, on porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and marble.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Polsloe

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Polsloe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Polsloe customers choose us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A fixed quote before you book

See our prices page.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Polsloe

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlord and trade work in Polsloe

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
