Advice
Tile repair at your home in Tresillian
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, across porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Tresillian: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you cover Tresillian?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Tresillian for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you hold any accreditations?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Prices and what affects them

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
