About our tile repair in Drimlabarra

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, in natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Drimlabarra

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Drimlabarra. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • The material, if you know it

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your KA27 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

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

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

  • Whole walls of failing grout

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
