Tile repair at your home in Barrow

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Common call-outs are for drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, in ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Read our pricing.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Barrow

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Barrow use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Barrow. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Barrow questions

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

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

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Often, yes, if it isn’t loose.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Barrow?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your S62 postcode.

How to compare quotes

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not 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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
