Tile repair in West Down, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Our repair technicians work on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and marble, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You don’t 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’ll reply with a fixed quote.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Your questions about tile repair in West Down

Do you cover the entire of Devon?

Everywhere in the UK, West Down included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.

Are there extra charges for West Down?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for West Down. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our pricing.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in West Down

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

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