Trusted tile repair in St Sidwells

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Tile repair in St Sidwells without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Whether it’s drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, we can normally put it right, on floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and marble alike.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

FAQs for St Sidwells

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

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.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you cover St Sidwells?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to St Sidwells from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Landlords, agents and businesses in St Sidwells

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around St Sidwells, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can

What affects the price in St Sidwells

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for St Sidwells. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • Details of any past repairs

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
