Need tile repair in New Barnet?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

How we handle tile repair in New Barnet

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people contact us are damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in New Barnet as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Signs you need tile repair in New Barnet

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damaged tile edges
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

Our hiring checklist

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

If you manage property in New Barnet, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
