FAQs for Newbiggin

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Normally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Do you work in Newbiggin?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Newbiggin. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How we handle tile repair in Newbiggin

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Our repair technicians work on natural stone & granite, marble and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlord and trade work in Newbiggin

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in North Yorkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newbiggin as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Newbiggin. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

  • Floor and wall tiles

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
