About our tile repair in Babbington
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. Whether it’s drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, we can usually put it right.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Babbington as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Babbington
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What does tile repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NG16 postcode.
Work for landlords and builders
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.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Babbington use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Can I fix it myself?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What else we do in Babbington
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
