Newbiggin questions
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Newbiggin.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Often, yes, if it is not loose.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Getting ready for the visit

What else we do in Newbiggin
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Newbiggin. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Landlord and trade work in Newbiggin
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
When to call us in Newbiggin
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Damaged tile edges
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How soon you can use it again
- How to look after the finish
Repairing versus replacing in Newbiggin
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
