How we handle tile repair in Murton
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We work on marble, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people contact us are cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
When to call us in Murton
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, 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:
- Damaged tile edges
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Drill holes from removed fittings
