Tile repair in Barley, Cambridgeshire
Our technicians come to Barley for chip, crack and drill-hole repairs to floor and wall tiles. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
About our tile repair in Barley
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite, and people most frequently call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Barley questions
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you cover the whole of Cambridgeshire?
We work UK-wide, so Barley is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Barley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repairing versus replacing in Barley
