Tile repair in Great Barford

Tile repair in Great Barford, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, in floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and marble.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We 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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Choosing a repair company

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Barford

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
