Tile repair in Willington Quay without replacing anything

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We are frequently asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, in floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • The material, if you know it

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used 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. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NE32 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Willington Quay

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you cover Willington Quay?

We do. We send a technician to Willington Quay for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

Repairing versus replacing in Willington Quay

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Do you need tile repair in Willington Quay?

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Cracked floor tiles

Comparing quotes

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How changes to the job are handled
