About our tile repair in Barnstone
We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Common call-outs are for drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, in porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What else we do in Barnstone
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.

- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
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.
Related advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Barnstone: your questions answered
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Landlord and trade work in Barnstone
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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 will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Floor and wall tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Porcelain tiles
- Marble
- Ceramic tiles
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.
Do you need tile repair in Barnstone?
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Damaged tile edges
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Cracked floor tiles

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Barnstone, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
