Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Settlingstones. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How we handle tile repair in Settlingstones
We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We regularly repair natural stone & granite, marble and floor and wall tiles, and people most frequently call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Settlingstones. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NE47 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
