Tile repair near Barfrestone

Tile repair in Barfrestone, done in place

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We work on natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles, and people most frequently call us about cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

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

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Barfrestone. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

If you’re in Barfrestone and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Barfrestone

For anyone letting property in or around Barfrestone, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Barfrestone

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
