Book tile repair in Throwleigh

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it

Tile repair in Throwleigh without replacing anything

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If you’re dealing with cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Throwleigh as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Landlord and trade work in Throwleigh

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Throwleigh. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Common questions in Throwleigh

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

How soon can you come?

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

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
