About our tile repair in Torquay

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire tiled area

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair 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

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Questions from Torquay

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Torquay?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

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 pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One price list for the whole UK

What we can’t put right

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
