How we handle tile repair in Tresamble

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We work on porcelain tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Tresamble and across Cornwall. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Our hiring checklist

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Tresamble. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

  • Floor and wall tiles

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Tresamble questions

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Repair or replace in Tresamble?
