How we handle tile repair in St Erth Praze
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We regularly repair natural stone & granite, marble and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Questions from St Erth Praze
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What else we do in St Erth Praze
Landlord and trade work in St Erth Praze
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
