Tile repair near Underbarrow

Tile repair in Underbarrow without replacing anything

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Our repair technicians work on natural stone & granite, marble and ceramic tiles, and common reasons people contact us are cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Underbarrow

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Common questions in Underbarrow

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Underbarrow?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
