About our tile repair in Walkergate
We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Our repair technicians work on marble, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Walkergate as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Walkergate as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Common problems we fix in Walkergate
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are 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
