What affects the price in Killingworth

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can price the job.

Tile repair at your home in Killingworth

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We are frequently asked to fix cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, in natural stone & granite, marble and ceramic tiles.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Tyneside. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Killingworth questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Generally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
