Your questions about tile repair in Inkerman
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do you work in Inkerman?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Inkerman and the rest of County Durham. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Usually, if it is not loose.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?

What else we do in Inkerman
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
Landlord and trade work in Inkerman
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.

Advice
How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
