Tile repair in West Blackdene, done in place

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Common call-outs are for drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, in ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Questions from West Blackdene

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you come to West Blackdene?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to West Blackdene. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

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 do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Are there extra charges for West Blackdene?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Do you cover the whole of County Durham?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Damaged tile edges

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What aftercare is recommended

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Marble
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Floor and wall tiles

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • Where you are, by postcode

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
