Tile repair for Sticklepath homes

Tile repair at your home in Sticklepath

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We’re frequently asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, on marble, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left 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

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sticklepath

For anyone letting property in or around Sticklepath, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repairing versus replacing in Sticklepath

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Questions from Sticklepath

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you cover the whole of Devon?

The whole UK, including all of Devon. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Do you come to Sticklepath?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Sticklepath. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

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 typically the cheaper route.
