Tile repair at your home in Moor End

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you’re dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, we can usually put it right.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Moor End and across County Durham. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.

Landlord and trade work in Moor End

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Moor End, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

FAQs for Moor End

How soon can you come?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Are there extra charges for Moor End?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Moor End. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area

If you are in Moor End and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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’ll say what we think.

  • Natural stone & granite
  • Porcelain tiles

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
