Tile repair in Unthank without replacing anything
We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Our technicians work on natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles, and people most frequently call us about cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

More services for Unthank
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Unthank, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Natural stone & granite
- Ceramic tiles
- Marble
- Floor and wall tiles
- Porcelain tiles
Common problems we fix in Unthank
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.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Cracked floor tiles
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- What protection goes down before work starts
- When it can be used again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Same prices wherever you are
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

Questions from Unthank
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Usually, if it isn’t loose.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Unthank and the rest of County Durham. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
What affects the price in Unthank
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
