Our hiring checklist

Tile repair in Harperley, done in place

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Common call-outs are for discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, on porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • How many areas need work

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Harperley questions

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Will there be a smell?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Often, yes, if it is not loose.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you cover Harperley?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Harperley and the rest of County Durham. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
