Trusted tile repair in Low Westwood

Landlords, agents and businesses in Low Westwood

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Low Westwood as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Tile repair in Low Westwood without replacing anything

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Typical jobs include cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, across marble, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

FAQs for Low Westwood

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Often, yes, if it isn’t loose.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Gateshead, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No need to remove anything

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
