About our tile repair in Babell
We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. If you’re dealing with damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, we can generally put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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 we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Babell questions
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you work in Babell?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Babell. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Flintshire.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Babell. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- Natural light rather than flash
Most customers in Babell get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
