Repairing versus replacing in Barsham

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Tile repair at your home in Barsham

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, we can generally put it right.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

Barsham: your questions answered

Are there extra charges for Barsham?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you cover Barsham?

We do. Technicians travel to Barsham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can landlords book you?

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

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What affects the price in Barsham

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Barsham. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
