Tile repair at your home in Ruishton
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Our technicians work on floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite, and people most often call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

FAQs for Ruishton
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Do you cover the entire of Somerset?
The whole UK, including all of Somerset. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do you come to Ruishton?
We do. Technicians travel to Ruishton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ruishton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
For anyone letting property in or around Ruishton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
