Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. 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.

How we handle tile repair in Coalburns
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 will tell you. If you’re dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gateshead. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re 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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Common questions in Coalburns
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How do I get a price for tile repair in Coalburns?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
