How we handle tile repair in Roborough

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If you are dealing with damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles, we can help.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EX19 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Roborough

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
