Tile repair in St Newlyn East without replacing anything

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 marble, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles, and people most frequently call us about cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What affects the price in St Newlyn East

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for St Newlyn East. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire tiled area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Questions from St Newlyn East

Do you cover St Newlyn East?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to St Newlyn East. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire tiled area and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in St Newlyn East.

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
