How we handle tile repair in Torridge
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 will say so. We regularly repair marble, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles, and people most frequently call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Torridge and across Devon. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Torridge
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Torridge questions
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Often, yes, if it isn’t loose.
Do you work in Torridge?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Torridge from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Repairing versus replacing in Torridge
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What else we do in Torridge
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
