About our tile repair in Rock
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people contact us are chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What else we do in Rock
How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Rock, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Questions from Rock
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Where we work around Rock
Rock is about 10 miles north-west of Bodmin, in Cornwall. We work in every kind of home, from flats and terraces to detached houses and new builds, as well as offices, shops and holiday lets. Rock is one of 644 places in Cornwall where we work.
Our repair technicians cover all of PL27 and the streets around it. From Shores Lane, Greenbanks Road and Trelyn or anywhere nearby, we can come to you. We also cover the places around Rock: Splatt (1 mile north-east), Porthilly (1 mile south-west), Trebetherick (2 miles north-west), Padstow (2 miles west) and Polzeath (2 miles north). We also work in nearby towns such as Newquay (12 miles south-west), St Austell (15 miles south), Bodmin (10 miles south-east), Sandy Bottom (15 miles south-east), Bethel (15 miles south-east) and Wadebridge (4 miles south-east).
Around Rock
Typical jobs here are in homes near Church of St Michael and St Minver School and the streets around them. Nearby you will also find Doyden Castle (3.2 miles north-east) and Shipwreck Museum (1.5 miles west). Not far away are Brea Hill.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Natural stone & granite
- Floor and wall tiles
- Marble
- Porcelain tiles
- Ceramic tiles
Can I fix it myself?
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
