Tile repair for Powderham homes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Powderham

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Tile repair at your home in Powderham

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles, across porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Powderham

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Powderham.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Devon. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

What we are called out for in Powderham

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Damaged tile edges

Before booking anyone

  • What prep work is covered
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

How we price tile repair

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can price the job without visiting.

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
