Tile repair in Poltesco

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Tile repair in Poltesco, done in place

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Common call-outs are for damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, in marble, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Poltesco. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TR12 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently 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.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Poltesco questions

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Poltesco?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

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

Which areas do you work in?

All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
