Trusted tile repair in Birkin

Tile repair at your home in Birkin

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, we can typically put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Choosing a repair company

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Birkin: your questions answered

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Birkin and the rest of Wakefield. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
