About our tile repair in Barlow
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’ll say so. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Barlow questions
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
How much does tile repair cost in Barlow?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled 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

How to get a price
Most clients in Barlow get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Barlow, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- 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’ll tell you honestly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
