About our tile repair in St Erney

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you are dealing with cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, we can help, on ceramic tiles, marble and porcelain tiles alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including St Erney. The price reflects:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why choose Surface Doctor in St Erney

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

St Erney: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you work in St Erney?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cornwall.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Common problems we fix in St Erney

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damaged tile edges
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Drill holes from removed fittings

Before you book anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How your room will be protected
  • What prep work is covered

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Whole walls of failing grout
