When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Gatesheath, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
