Tile repair for loose tiles, chips, cracks, and damaged grout. We'll fix what we can and advise on replacement if repair isn't viable.
Not every tile problem needs full replacement. Loose tiles can be re-stuck, small chips can be filled, and damaged grout can be cut out and replaced. Tile repair is quicker and cheaper than replacement, and if done properly, you'd never know there was an issue. The trick is knowing what can be fixed and what's better off replaced.
### Types of Tile Repairs We Handle
**Loose or Hollow Tiles** - Tiles that sound hollow when you tap them or rock when you step on them need re-gluing. We'll lift them, clean off old adhesive, and re-fix them properly.
**Chips and Small Cracks** - Minor chips can be filled with epoxy resin or tile repair compound and colour-matched. Not invisible up close, but much better than a chunk missing.
**Damaged Grout** - Cracked, crumbling, or missing grout gets raked out and replaced with fresh grout. Colour-matched to blend with existing.
**Surface Scratches** - Light scratches on glazed tiles can sometimes be buffed out or filled. Deep scratches that penetrate the glaze are harder to fix invisibly.
### Done Right vs Done Wrong
| Done Right | Done Wrong | |------------|------------| | Loose tile re-stuck with full adhesive coverage | Tile stuck back with blobs of glue, comes loose again | | Chip filled smooth and colour-matched | Lumpy fill, wrong colour, stands out | | Old grout removed fully before replacing | New grout over old, different levels, looks messy | | Subfloor checked and repaired if needed | Tile re-fixed over same problem, fails again |
### What You Get
| What's Included | |-----------------| | Assessment of damage and repair options | | Loose tile removal and re-fixing | | Chip filling with colour-matched compound (if applicable) | | Grout removal and replacement (if needed) | | Subfloor check and minor repairs | | Clean-up and disposal of waste materials |
### Pricing Guide
| Time Required | Total Cost | |---------------|------------| | 1 hour | £60 | | 1.5 hours | £85 | | 2 hours | £110 |
Most minor tile repairs (1-3 tiles, small chips, grout replacement) fall in the 1-2 hour range. Bigger jobs or multiple issues take longer.
**Pro Tip:** If several tiles are loose in the same area, there's usually an underlying issue - water damage, subfloor movement, or poor original installation. Fix the cause, not just the symptom.

What to Expect
**1. Damage Assessment** - We'll check what's wrong, tap tiles to see if others are loose, and assess whether repair or replacement is the best option. We'll be honest about what'll work and what won't. **2. Repair Work** - We'll re-glue loose tiles, fill chips, or replace damaged grout. If subfloor issues are found, we'll discuss what needs fixing and the cost involved. **3. Curing and Aftercare** - Re-glued tiles need 24 hours before heavy use. Filled chips might need another 24 hours to harden. We'll advise on cure times and how to look after the repair.

Frequently Asked Questions about Tile Repair in Sidmouth
Can you fix a chipped tile without replacing it?
Depends on the chip size and location. Small chips can be filled with epoxy resin and colour-matched. Big chunks missing or chips in high-wear areas are better off replaced. We'll advise which is the best fix.
Why do tiles come loose?
Usually poor adhesive coverage when they were laid, movement in the subfloor, or water getting underneath. We'll check the cause when we re-fix them and make sure it doesn't happen again.
Will re-glued tiles be as strong as new?
If the subfloor underneath is sound and we can get good adhesive coverage, yes. If the subfloor's damaged or moving, we'll need to fix that first or the tile will just come loose again.
Can you match grout colour for repairs?
We'll get as close as possible. If you know the original grout brand and colour, perfect. Otherwise, we'll match by eye or suggest regrouting the whole area for a uniform look if it's way off.
