Tile repair in Tan Hills without replacing anything
We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. If you’re dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Tan Hills
Do you come to Tan Hills?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Tan Hills. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
How much does tile repair cost in Tan Hills?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DH2 postcode.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across County Durham.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

The process

- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We recreate 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
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
