Tile repair at your home in Sunniside

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on marble, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in Sunniside

Do you cover Sunniside?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Sunniside. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Sunniside?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic tiles
  • Marble
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Natural stone & granite

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged 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. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Damaged tile edges

What to look for in a quote

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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 pictures.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Sunniside. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire tiled area

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Sunniside, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
