Trusted tile repair in Poltimore

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Poltimore as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

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.

About our tile repair in Poltimore

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you have damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, we can typically put it right, on floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles alike.

Rural addresses like Poltimore just need a little planning, and we will plan the visit around it.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Poltimore and across Devon. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. In an older home in a village like Poltimore, replacing a tiled area can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt isn’t 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.

Our hiring checklist

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Ceramic tiles
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Marble
  • Natural stone & granite

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Poltimore. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EX4 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up. For a rural address like Poltimore, we plan the journey in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. Everything for the tile repair comes with us in one trip.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Get a quote

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
