About our tile repair in Salterton
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 tell you. We work on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings.
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. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Salterton questions
Are there extra charges for Salterton?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
You do not 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 will reply with a fixed price.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Salterton
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Salterton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
