Tile repair in Saltash without replacing anything
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’ll say so. Common call-outs are for cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, in natural stone & granite, marble and porcelain tiles.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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 affects the price in Saltash
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
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
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Most customers in Saltash get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we’re called out for in Saltash
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Damaged tile edges
- Drill holes from removed fittings

How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price

Your questions about tile repair in Saltash
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole tiled area and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Usually, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When a repair isn’t the answer
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 before you book.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Saltash. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
