Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Westoe as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
About our tile repair in Westoe
The tile stays where it is, 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. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, we can typically put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Westoe: your questions answered
What does tile repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NE33 postcode.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What affects the price in Westoe
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Westoe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
