How we handle tile repair in Eggleston
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, across floor and wall tiles, marble and porcelain tiles.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

FAQs for Eggleston
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Which areas do you work in?
All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What affects the price in Eggleston
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Eggleston. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Landlord and trade work in Eggleston
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repairing versus replacing in Eggleston
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Eggleston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One visit for most repairs
