Tile repair in Eighton Banks without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile 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. Our technicians work on natural stone & granite, marble and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Eighton Banks and across Gateshead. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
