Tile repair in Townshend, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our repair technicians work on marble, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Townshend and across Cornwall. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Choosing a repair company

Townshend: your questions answered

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

What does tile repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 typically cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Repair or replace in Townshend?

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Townshend. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Townshend. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

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