- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Tile repair in Tunstall 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’ll say so. We are frequently asked to fix cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What affects the price in Tunstall
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Tunstall. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DL10 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Landlord and trade work in Tunstall
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tunstall as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What we’re called out for in Tunstall
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Your questions about tile repair in Tunstall
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you cover Tunstall?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Tunstall from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
