The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage

How we handle tile repair in Sedgefield
We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We regularly repair natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles, and common reasons people contact us are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Sedgefield and across County Durham. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Signs you need tile repair in Sedgefield
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- Where you are, by postcode

Questions from Sedgefield
What areas do you cover?
All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Normally, if it isn’t loose.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
