Tile repair in Barnhill

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Tile repair at your home in Barnhill

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Barnhill and across Dundee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Barnhill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Barnhill questions

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Are there extra charges for Barnhill?

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

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

When can you do it?

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

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  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 pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
