Choosing a repair company

Tile repair at your home in Brigsteer

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, in marble, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Brigsteer. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

There’s no need for us to visit first. 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.

Can I fix it myself?

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

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

When we would advise against a repair

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

What we work on

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

Brigsteer questions

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Brigsteer included. Travel is included in the price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, 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 clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

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 send back a fixed quote and some dates.
