Repair or replace in Southerton?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How we handle tile repair in Southerton
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, we can generally put it right.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in Southerton
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How much does tile repair cost in Southerton?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
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 pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Southerton, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
