Why repair rather than replace?

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for St Mawgan. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Tile repair in St Mawgan without replacing anything
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Whether it’s drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What else we do in St Mawgan
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- 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 pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Natural stone & granite
- Marble
- Floor and wall tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Ceramic tiles
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can give you a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
