Tile repair near West Boldon

How we handle tile repair in West Boldon

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Whether it’s damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around West Boldon, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NE36 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, 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. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Take a look at our full price list.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to West Boldon. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

West Boldon questions

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

How do I get a price for tile repair in West Boldon?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

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