Tile repair in Seaton

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Seaton. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

If you’re in Seaton and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How we handle tile repair in Seaton

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Typical jobs include damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles, across marble, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Seaton and across County Durham. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Seaton questions

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of County Durham. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you cover Seaton?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in County Durham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

When to call us in Seaton

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.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace

Questions to ask before you book

  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What we cannot put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price
