Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Crook, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How we handle tile repair in Crook
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, we can help, on floor and wall tiles, marble and porcelain tiles alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged 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. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Crook. The price comes down to:

- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Crook. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Where we work around Crook
Crook is about 5 miles north-west of Bishop Auckland, in County Durham. We work in every kind of home, from flats and terraces to detached houses and new builds, as well as offices, shops and holiday lets. Crook is one of 329 towns and villages in County Durham we cover. We work right across the region, from Crook to Newcastle upon Tyne (about 20 miles away).
Here we cover the DL15 postcode area. That includes homes on Kellet Square, Honister Square and Croft Avenue and the roads around them. Crook sits on or near the A689 and A690, which makes travel easy. Nearby, we also work in Low Beechburn (1 mile south), Helmington Row (1 mile east), Roddymoor (1 mile north), Billy Row (1 mile north) and Fir Tree (1 mile west). Larger places within reach include Durham (8 miles north-east), Consett (10 miles north), Newton Aycliffe (9 miles south-east), Bishop Auckland (5 miles south-east), Spennymoor (6 miles east) and Chester-le-Street (12 miles north-east).
Around Crook
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to St. Catherine's Church, Queens Head pub and Crook Primary School. For rail, the closest station is Bishop Auckland station, roughly 4.7 miles south-east. Further afield, we also cover the area around Bishop Auckland Hospital (4.8 miles south-east) and Witton Castle (3.1 miles south). The countryside around Crook includes Stanley Moss.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Your questions about tile repair in Crook
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do you work in Crook?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Crook for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What areas do you cover?
All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
