Tile repair at your home in Portmellon
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Whether it’s drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Portmellon as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 will not last.
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.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- 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 before booking.

Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do I need to be at home?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Repairing versus replacing in Portmellon
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
