Trusted tile repair in Strete

Tile repair in Strete, done in place

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles, and people most often call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Strete

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Porcelain tiles
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Marble

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Strete, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Your questions about tile repair in Strete

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you cover the entire of Devon?

We work UK-wide, so Strete is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What we are called out for in Strete

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • Damaged tile edges
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the colour is matched
