Need tile repair in Newcraighall?

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

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

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EH21 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Tile repair at your home in Newcraighall

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We regularly repair marble, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles, and people most frequently call us about drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Newcraighall questions

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Are there extra charges for Newcraighall?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you come to Newcraighall?

We do. Technicians travel to Newcraighall from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Porcelain tiles
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Marble

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Newcraighall. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
