Tile repair for Barking Tye homes

Tile repair at your home in Barking Tye

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Our repair technicians work on floor and wall tiles, marble and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Barking Tye as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  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. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Advice

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Barking Tye

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Barking Tye as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Are there extra charges for Barking Tye?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How much does tile repair cost in Barking Tye?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Normally, if it isn’t loose.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole tiled area and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
