Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Newbiggin, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Tile repair in Newbiggin without replacing anything
The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We’re often asked to fix cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, in porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Questions from Newbiggin
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

What affects the price in Newbiggin
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your LA6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Common problems we fix in Newbiggin
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Cracked floor tiles
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
Before booking anyone
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What protection goes down before work starts
What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot 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
