Tile repair at your home in Ackenthwaite
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can help.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What affects the price in Ackenthwaite
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Ackenthwaite. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Get a quote
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
