About our tile repair in Consett

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Consett

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Porcelain tiles
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Marble
  • Floor and wall tiles

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Consett: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How much does tile repair cost in Consett?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across County Durham.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why Consett customers choose us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Most jobs done in one visit

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most customers in Consett get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
