Advice
Tile repair in Longbenton, done in place
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. We are frequently asked to fix damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles, across porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Tyneside. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Longbenton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
