For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Tile repair in St Ive Cross, done in place
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, marble and natural stone & granite, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to St Ive Cross. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for St Ive Cross. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PL14 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, 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 generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
