Tile repair for Salcombe homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How we handle tile repair in Salcombe

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We are often asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, across marble, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, 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.

Materials we repair

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

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send pictures for a quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
