Tile repair in East Herrington, done in place
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, across marble, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Sunderland. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

East Herrington: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Repairing versus replacing in East Herrington
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Landlords, agents and businesses in East Herrington
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in East Herrington

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole tiled area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
