About our tile repair in Gosforth
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We regularly repair floor and wall tiles, marble and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Gosforth questions
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you work in Gosforth?
We do. We send a technician to Gosforth for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole tiled area
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Do you need tile repair in Gosforth?
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
