Tile repair at your home in Lemington
The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We are often asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, across ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

FAQs for Lemington
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover the entire of Newcastle upon Tyne?
We cover the whole UK, including Lemington and the rest of Newcastle upon Tyne. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Generally, if it isn’t loose.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Signs you need tile repair in Lemington
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
Look out for these signs:
- Damaged tile edges
- Cracked floor tiles
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Drill holes from removed fittings

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
