Tile repair at your home in Lambton
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If you’re dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
Also in Lambton
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lambton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Lambton: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
All of Sunderland, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NE38 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Natural stone & granite
- Porcelain tiles
- Marble
- Ceramic tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- A fixed quote before booking
- Most jobs done in one visit
