Your questions about tile repair in Whipton
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you work in Whipton?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Whipton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
About our tile repair in Whipton
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We are often asked to fix discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, across porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Whipton and across Devon. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot 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
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic tiles
- Floor and wall tiles

Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whipton
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whipton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What affects the price in Whipton
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Whipton. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Whipton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
