About our tile repair in Elswick

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

FAQs for Elswick

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Generally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Work done at your home or business

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  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

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Elswick. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

For a price in Elswick, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
