Tile repair in Pool

About our tile repair in Pool

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Our repair technicians work on porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles, and people most often call us about drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools.

For a place like Pool, tile repair is typically a few hours.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Pool

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed, with no obligation. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again. For a home in Pool, we normally park close by and start immediately.

  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. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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