About our tile repair in Birdlip
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair natural stone & granite, marble and floor and wall tiles, and people most frequently call us about cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Advice
Birdlip questions
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
How do I get a price for tile repair in Birdlip?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Birdlip
For anyone letting property in or around Birdlip, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.

Common problems we fix in Birdlip
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Cracked floor tiles
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Damaged tile edges
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find more damage
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price covers travel
What a repair cannot fix
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
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What affects the price in Birdlip
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Repairing versus replacing in Birdlip
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Birdlip. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
