When to call us in Holmside

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.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

Tile repair in Holmside, done in place

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, marble and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people contact us are drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Holmside as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No need to remove anything

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Holmside. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of

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 pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Landlord and trade work in Holmside

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Holmside use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

FAQs for Holmside

Do you cover the entire of County Durham?

All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What information do you need?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
