Tile repair for Tavistock homes

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Tile repair in Tavistock without replacing anything

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on ceramic tiles, marble and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people contact us are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Tavistock. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For a price in Tavistock, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

Tavistock: your questions answered

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

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

When to call us in Tavistock

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Damaged tile edges

Before booking anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • What prep work is covered
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
