Tile repair at your home in Shildon
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. Our technicians work on porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and marble, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Porcelain tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Ceramic tiles
- Marble
- Floor and wall tiles

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Shildon. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DL4 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We leave the room as we found it

For landlords and businesses
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.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
