How we handle tile repair in St Ruan
The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We regularly repair floor and wall tiles, marble and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price

Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for St Ruan. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Common questions in St Ruan
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
