Tile repair at your home in Porthcurno

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Typical jobs include discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles, across natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and marble.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Porthcurno and across Cornwall. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • 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 you book.

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

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Porthcurno, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Get a quote

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

10 questions to ask before you book

Porthcurno questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Porthcurno.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
