Repair or replace in Newnham?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Newnham. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Newnham questions
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you come to Newnham?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Newnham. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Are there extra charges for Newnham?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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.
Common problems we fix in Newnham
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
- Damaged tile edges
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who turns up on the day
- How changes to the job are handled
- If travel is included in the price
