Tile repair in Burraton without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people contact us are cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Burraton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Burraton. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Burraton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What we can’t put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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 will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Burraton

Repair or replace in Burraton?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Fixed prices from your photos

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Burraton questions

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Usually, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Burraton?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Are there extra charges for Burraton?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
