About our tile repair in Bowes
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, across marble, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in County Durham. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlord and trade work in Bowes
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in County Durham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

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 do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can give you a fixed price.
