10 questions to ask before you book

How we handle tile repair in Barking

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We are often asked to fix damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles, in porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Barking: your questions answered

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Normally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Are there extra charges for Barking?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What does tile repair cost?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
