About our tile repair in Barnton

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If you are dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles, we can usually put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • No need to remove anything
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Work done at your home or business

How to compare quotes

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Barnton: your questions answered

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What information do you need?

Can you price it without visiting?

Landlord and trade work in Barnton

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

  • Porcelain tiles
  • Marble
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Natural stone & granite

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
