Tile repair in Gawber, done in place

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Our repair technicians work on ceramic tiles, marble and porcelain tiles, and people most frequently call us about drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Barnsley. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Gawber. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  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. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Gawber: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

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

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gawber

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common problems we fix in Gawber

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Damaged tile edges

Before you book anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Gawber

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
