Tile repair near St Eval

Tile repair in St Eval without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We work on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble, and people most frequently call us about cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges.

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

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to St Eval. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PL27 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Repairing versus replacing in St Eval

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

St Eval: your questions answered

How much does tile repair cost in St Eval?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  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. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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.
