Tile repair at your home in Spennymoor
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles, in natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and marble.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Landlord and trade work in Spennymoor
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Natural stone & granite
- Porcelain tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
- Marble
What we are called out for in Spennymoor
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Cracked floor tiles
- Damaged tile edges
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- When it can be used again
Repairing versus replacing in Spennymoor
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Spennymoor. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
Most clients in Spennymoor get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
