Tile repair in Gateshead Fell, done in place

If a tile moves, it 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. We regularly repair natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and marble, and people most often call us about damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Gateshead Fell. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Gateshead Fell. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

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 to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

FAQs for Gateshead Fell

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Newcastle upon Tyne.

Do you work in Gateshead Fell?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Gateshead Fell. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you charge for travel?

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
