Tile repair in Hastings Hill without replacing anything
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. If you are dealing with cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help, on natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
FAQs for Hastings Hill
Do you cover the whole of Sunderland?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Hastings Hill. Prices do not change with location.

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole tiled area and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
What does tile repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
