Tile Repair for Baretrees homes

- Repairs from £95
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace

Tile repair at your home in Baretrees
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. If you are dealing with damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can normally put it right, on marble, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How the visit works
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 any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Repair or replace in Baretrees?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t 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 pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Marble
- Ceramic tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Natural stone & granite
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Baretrees as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
