Trusted tile repair in Trekenning

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Tile repair in Trekenning, done in place

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Typical jobs include cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, in floor and wall tiles, marble and porcelain tiles.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Trekenning and across Cornwall. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Trekenning

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Trekenning, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

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

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
