What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Tile repair at your home in Sherburn House

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. We are often asked to fix cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, on porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles.

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. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Sherburn House questions

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you cover the entire of County Durham?

All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do you work in Sherburn House?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Sherburn House and the rest of County Durham. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common problems we fix in Sherburn House

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Cracked floor tiles

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How long it needs to cure

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
