Landlords, agents and businesses in Trelowth

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For anyone letting property in or around Trelowth, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Tile repair in Trelowth, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can usually put it right, on natural stone & granite, marble and porcelain tiles alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Trelowth. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Questions from Trelowth

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

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

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do I need to be at home?

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

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

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 give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Advice

What we are called out for in Trelowth

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Common reasons people in Trelowth contact us include:

  • Damaged tile edges
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Drill holes from removed fittings

Comparing quotes

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What prep work is covered
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Porcelain tiles
  • Marble
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Natural stone & granite

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
