Tile repair at your home in Newstead
We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Typical jobs include discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, in marble, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Newstead

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. What it costs 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 photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
When to call us in Newstead
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 picture if you notice any of these:
- Damaged tile edges
- Cracked floor tiles
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
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.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
