About our tile repair in New Herrington
We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We are often asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, across natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

New Herrington: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you cover New Herrington?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to New Herrington and the rest of Sunderland. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, New Herrington included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Normally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for New Herrington. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DH4 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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.
Materials we repair
- Natural stone & granite
- Floor and wall tiles
