What affects the price in South Zeal
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
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.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire tiled area
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in South Zeal, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
About our tile repair in South Zeal
We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Typical jobs include discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, in natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and marble.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

The process
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- The repair is levelled 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

- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Common questions in South Zeal

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Generally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

How much does tile repair cost in South Zeal?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
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 pictures.
Repairing versus replacing in South Zeal
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
