Tile repair in Horsley Hill, done in place
If a tile moves, it 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 chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, across ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble.
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.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Horsley Hill questions
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of South Tyneside. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How much does tile repair cost in Horsley Hill?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
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.
Repair or replace in Horsley Hill?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
