Tile repair in Mainsforth without replacing anything
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We regularly repair natural stone & granite, marble and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Advice
FAQs for Mainsforth
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of County Durham. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Repairing versus replacing in Mainsforth

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What affects the price in Mainsforth
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Mainsforth
- Marble
- Ceramic tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Natural stone & granite

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
