How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Barforth, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Tile repair at your home in Barforth

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. If you’re dealing with cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can usually put it right, on marble, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What does tile repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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 are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Darlington and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Do you need tile repair in Barforth?

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Fixed prices from your photos
