About our tile repair in West Herrington

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, across porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in West Herrington

For anyone letting property in or around West Herrington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

  • Porcelain tiles

FAQs for West Herrington

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Sunderland. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do you cover West Herrington?

We do. Technicians travel to West Herrington from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to West Herrington. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repairing versus replacing in West Herrington

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
