Tile repair in Lanchester without replacing anything
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles, we can usually put it right, on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and marble alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in Lanchester
Do you come to Lanchester?
We do. We send a technician to Lanchester for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you cover the whole of County Durham?
The whole UK, including all of County Durham. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- 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 we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in County Durham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One visit for most repairs
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
