Tile repair for Friar's Gate homes

Tile repair in Friar's Gate without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our repair technicians work on marble, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles, and people most frequently call us about cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TN6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repairing versus replacing in Friar's Gate

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Friar's Gate. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One price list for the whole UK

Friar's Gate questions

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Are there extra charges for Friar's Gate?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Friar's Gate included. Travel is included in the price.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  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 match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Friar's Gate

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
