Trusted tile repair in Great Barton

What affects the price in Great Barton

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

Tile repair at your home in Great Barton

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We are frequently asked to fix damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, across marble, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  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
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Advice

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

If you manage property in Great Barton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
