About our tile repair in Newton Rigg

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles, we can help, on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newton Rigg use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. 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 are paying for.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Newton Rigg questions

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Newton Rigg. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For a price in Newton Rigg, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we can’t put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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.
