Tile repair in Lobley Hill, done in place
The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We regularly repair natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Lobley Hill as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Lobley Hill questions
What does tile repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you cover the entire of Newcastle upon Tyne?
We cover the entire UK, including Lobley Hill and the rest of Newcastle upon Tyne. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Lobley Hill.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Lobley Hill, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
