How we handle tile repair in St Martin
We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. If you are dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, we can help, on marble, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles alike.
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.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why choose Surface Doctor in St Martin
- We leave the room as we found it
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

St Martin: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I get a price for tile repair in St Martin?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your PL13 postcode.

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to St Martin and the rest of Cornwall. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
