Tile repair at your home in Murton
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We’re frequently asked to fix damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles, across marble, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Your questions about tile repair in Murton
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Murton
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Murton. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
