Tile repair in Penshaw without replacing anything
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Our repair technicians work on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and marble, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

FAQs for Penshaw
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
What a repair can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Porcelain tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Floor and wall tiles
- Marble
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
