About our tile repair in St Budeaux
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in St Budeaux and across Plymouth. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for St Budeaux. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Common questions in St Budeaux
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so St Budeaux is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- 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 pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Natural stone & granite
- Floor and wall tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Marble
- Porcelain tiles
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- The material, if you know it
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
