Tile repair at your home in Woolwell

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you are dealing with damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help, on porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles alike.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Plymouth. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Plymouth and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Woolwell use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Woolwell. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PL6 postcode.

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.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Normally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you work in Woolwell?

When to call us in Woolwell

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

Comparing quotes

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Woolwell. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area

For a price in Woolwell, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
