How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

FAQs for South Hylton

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
How do I get a price for tile repair in South Hylton?

Do you cover South Hylton?
We do. Repair technicians travel to South Hylton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
If you’re in South Hylton and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
