About our tile repair in Worlington

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Our technicians work on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Worlington and across Devon. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Worlington, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Will the price change on the day?

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Worlington

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
