Common questions in Newbiggin
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What does tile repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
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 tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Tile repair in Newbiggin without replacing anything
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 will say so. Whether it’s damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in County Durham. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What else we do in Newbiggin
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Newbiggin
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
If you manage property in Newbiggin, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Natural stone & granite
- Ceramic tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
- Marble
- Porcelain tiles
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
