10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair 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.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Common questions in Barrow upon Soar

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Barrow upon Soar. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Barrow upon Soar, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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.

Landlord and trade work in Barrow upon Soar

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
