- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Do you come to Barnwell?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Barnwell from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Barnwell. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are you accredited?

How do I get a price for tile repair in Barnwell?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CB5 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
