How we handle tile repair in Herrington
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We’re frequently asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, across ceramic tiles, marble and natural stone & granite.
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.

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Herrington: your questions answered
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
How do I get a price for tile repair in Herrington?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SR3 postcode.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- One price list for the whole UK

- One visit for most repairs

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Herrington
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Sunderland and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
