Esh Winning questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Which areas do you work in?
All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How do I get a price for tile repair in Esh Winning?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How we handle tile repair in Esh Winning
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you’re dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles, we can normally put it right, on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Esh Winning. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
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’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DH7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
