Tile repair in Binchester without replacing anything
The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, we can usually put it right.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Binchester
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What does tile repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Binchester. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Binchester
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Binchester use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in County Durham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Marble
- Ceramic tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Porcelain tiles
Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
