How we handle tile repair in St Loye's

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in St Loye's and across Devon. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including St Loye's. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs

There are no surprise 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.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair 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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Porcelain tiles
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Marble
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Natural stone & granite

Landlord and trade work in St Loye's

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Loye's as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

See our full price list.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
