About our tile repair in Shortacross
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We’re frequently asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, across floor and wall tiles, marble and porcelain tiles.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

- Floor and wall tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Natural stone & granite

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.

FAQs for Shortacross
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?
All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Shortacross. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
