How we handle tile repair in Sacriston
We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We work on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and marble, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace in Sacriston?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts 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.

Often, yes, if it is not loose.

Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Landlord and trade work in Sacriston
If you manage property in Sacriston, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
