Tile repair at your home in Rickleton
The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. If you are dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Sunderland. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

FAQs for Rickleton
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Typically, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What affects the price in Rickleton
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Rickleton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can

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, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Rickleton
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Ceramic tiles
- Marble
- Natural stone & granite
