Tile repair at your home in Barmston
If a tile moves, it 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. Our repair technicians work on ceramic tiles, marble and porcelain tiles, and common reasons people contact us are cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Questions from Barmston
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
What does tile repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you cover the entire of Sunderland?
The entire UK, including all of Sunderland. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Barmston. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Before we arrive

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NE38 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
