About our tile repair in Easington Colliery
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Common call-outs are for drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, across porcelain tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Easington Colliery as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Floor and wall tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Marble
- Ceramic tiles
- Natural stone & granite

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- 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

Easington Colliery: your questions answered
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What does tile repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What else we do in Easington Colliery
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Easington Colliery
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.
