About our tile repair in Tiverton

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We work on porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and marble, and people most often call us about damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area

Most customers in Tiverton get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EX16 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

FAQs for Tiverton

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Common problems we fix in Tiverton

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.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Devon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we cannot 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.

  • Ceramic tiles
  • Natural stone & granite

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
