Tile repair at your home in North Shields

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’ll tell you. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlords, agents and businesses in North Shields

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in North Shields as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

North Shields questions

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

How do I get a price for tile repair in North Shields?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you cover North Shields?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to North Shields and the rest of North Tyneside. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are there extra charges for North Shields?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
