Tile repair in St Day without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for St Day. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

If you are in St Day and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything

FAQs for St Day

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How much does tile repair cost in St Day?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you come to St Day?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to St Day and the rest of Cornwall. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t 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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Marble
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Natural stone & granite

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price
