DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
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 we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Whickham. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Whickham, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
