Book tile repair in Began

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

About our tile repair in Began

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’ll tell you. Typical jobs include damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, across floor and wall tiles, marble and ceramic tiles.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Began. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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 fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Began. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Began customers choose us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Questions from Began

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How much does tile repair cost in Began?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Generally, if it isn’t loose.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
