About our tile repair in Barnet
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We regularly repair natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and marble, and common reasons people contact us are drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What affects the price in Barnet
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Barnet. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
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. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Landlord and trade work in Barnet
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Barnet as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Common questions in Barnet
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Often, yes, if it isn’t loose.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you come to Barnet?
We do. We send a technician to Barnet for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
If you’re in Barnet and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
