How we handle tile repair in Barston
We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We regularly repair marble, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- 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
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
Your questions about tile repair in Barston
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How much does tile repair cost in Barston?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
