- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

About our tile repair in Barkby
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We work on floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings.
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 clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Barkby
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Barkby. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot 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 photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Barkby
- Marble
- Floor and wall tiles

Repairing versus replacing in Barkby
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

FAQs for Barkby
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you work in Barkby?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Barkby. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
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 usually cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
