Tile repair at your home in Ladybarn

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Typical jobs include discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, in marble, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Ladybarn

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

People generally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price covers travel

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Ladybarn. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Landlord and trade work in Ladybarn

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ladybarn as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Ladybarn. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Everything repaired in place

Read our prices page.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done 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. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
