About our tile repair in Longhirst

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’ll tell you. Our technicians work on floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and marble, and the jobs we see most are damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Longhirst

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Read our prices page.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Longhirst. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not 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.

Materials we repair

  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Marble
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Porcelain tiles

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Northumberland and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

FAQs for Longhirst

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Frequently, yes, if it is not loose.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
