Tile repair for Low Fell homes

Tile repair at your home in Low Fell

We repair the tile in place, 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 frequently asked to fix damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles, across porcelain tiles, marble and ceramic tiles.

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

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Repairing versus replacing in Low Fell

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Everything repaired in place

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Low Fell

Low Fell: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Do you work in Low Fell?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Low Fell from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What does tile repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your NE9 postcode.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.

What affects the price in Low Fell

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlord and trade work in Low Fell

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Low Fell use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Do you need tile repair in Low Fell?

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace

Before you book anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
