Tile repair at your home in Sherburn Hill
The tile stays where it is, 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. Whether it’s damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.
Sherburn Hill questions
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you cover Sherburn Hill?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Sherburn Hill and the rest of County Durham. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you cover the entire of County Durham?
Everywhere in the UK, Sherburn Hill included. Travel is included in the price.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
