Tile repair at your home in Bardwell

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We work on natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people contact us are cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

FAQs for Bardwell

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you work in Bardwell?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Bardwell. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material

There are no surprise 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

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
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Do you need tile repair in Bardwell?

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Cracked floor tiles

Before booking anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Bardwell, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repairing versus replacing in Bardwell

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
