If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our repair technicians work on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles, and people most often call us about drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Your questions about tile repair in Newbiggin
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price

What affects the price in Newbiggin
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Newbiggin. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
