What affects the price in Westerhope
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
About our tile repair in Westerhope
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 will say so. We work on marble, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite, and people most often call us about drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Westerhope questions
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Westerhope
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair 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
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repairing versus replacing in Westerhope
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Westerhope. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
