Tile repair in Briery, done in place

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, in porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and marble.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

  • Rooms protected and left tidy

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

What affects the price in Briery

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Briery. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot 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.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

For anyone letting property in or around Briery, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Your questions about tile repair in Briery

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Briery.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Often, yes, if it isn’t loose.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
