Tile repair at your home in Dunston

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Whether it’s damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can normally put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access

Dunston questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
