Tile repair in New Barn without replacing anything
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We work on marble, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people contact us are chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional 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 frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for New Barn. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
When we’d advise against a repair
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
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
