Quotes from your pictures

- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
How we handle tile repair in Platts Common
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We regularly repair floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and marble, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Platts Common and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Platts Common questions
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do you cover the entire of Barnsley?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Platts Common. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
