We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Common call-outs are for damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles, in marble, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles.

Can I fix it myself?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you cover Boldon Colliery?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Boldon Colliery from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
