About our tile repair in Barcombe Cross

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles, and people most frequently call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Take a look at our pricing.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Barcombe Cross. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Barcombe Cross

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

When to call us in Barcombe Cross

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Common questions in Barcombe Cross

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What does tile repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
