About our tile repair in Littletown

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Whether it’s damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can help, on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles alike.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in County Durham. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why Littletown customers choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • No need to remove anything
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

What tile repair costs

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

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Littletown, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Questions from Littletown

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Littletown

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Littletown, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
