Tile repair at your home in Lowes Barn
The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We’re frequently asked to fix discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, in floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

FAQs for Lowes Barn
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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 will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Lowes Barn

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- The material
- How many areas need work

Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs

- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
