Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How we handle tile repair in Staddiscombe
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, in floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Staddiscombe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Plymouth and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Questions from Staddiscombe
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- 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 photos and we will say what we think.
