How we handle tile repair in Acomb
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. Typical jobs include discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, on floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What else we do in Acomb
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. 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.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.
What affects the price in Acomb
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Acomb. The price reflects:
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Acomb: your questions answered
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Often, yes, if it is not loose.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Northumberland.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire tiled area and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
