About our tile repair in St Erth
The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, on porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How it works

- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
