About our tile repair in Runswick Bay

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, marble and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people get in touch are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

FAQs for Runswick Bay

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Typically, if it is not loose.

Do you work in Runswick Bay?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Runswick Bay from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What do you need from me?

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Common problems we fix in Runswick Bay

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Damaged tile edges
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Cracked floor tiles

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.
