How we handle tile repair in Biggin

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Typical jobs include discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, in floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Biggin. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Repairing versus replacing in Biggin

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
