How we handle tile repair in Harelaw
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Common call-outs are for damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles, in porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Harelaw as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Harelaw: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What areas do you cover?
All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

If you manage property in Harelaw, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Harelaw, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- 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.
What we work on
- Marble
- Floor and wall tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Natural stone & granite
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
