Trusted tile repair in Sherford

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

About our tile repair in Sherford

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, in natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Sherford and across Plymouth. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  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
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

FAQs for Sherford

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Sherford.

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Sherford and the rest of Plymouth. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What affects the price in Sherford

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • Any details about the material

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
