Trusted tile repair in Elswick

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NE4 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

About our tile repair in Elswick

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We are often asked to fix discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, across ceramic tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Everything repaired in place

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

If you manage property in Elswick, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Your questions about tile repair in Elswick

How do I get a price for tile repair in Elswick?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

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

Which areas do you work in?

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Generally, if it is not loose.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
