Tile repair in South Tehidy without replacing anything
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our repair technicians work on ceramic tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

South Tehidy questions
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you work in South Tehidy?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to South Tehidy from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Related advice
What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
