How we handle tile repair in High Spen
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, on marble, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

FAQs for High Spen
How do I get a price for tile repair in High Spen?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your NE39 postcode.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, High Spen included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for High Spen. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in High Spen, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
