Tile repair for St Austell homes

Tile repair in St Austell without replacing anything

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Our technicians work on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in St Austell and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

St Austell questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

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 do I get a price for tile repair in St Austell?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you cover St Austell?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to St Austell. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

See our prices page.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in St Austell

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
