Tile repair for Barford St John homes

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Tile repair in Barford St John without replacing anything

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can normally put it right, on floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and marble alike.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Barford St John: your questions answered

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For a price in Barford St John, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
