How we handle tile repair in Allithwaite
We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Typical jobs include cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, in porcelain tiles, marble and natural stone & granite.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Allithwaite. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
If you’re in Allithwaite and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Allithwaite questions
Are there extra charges for Allithwaite?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you cover Allithwaite?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Allithwaite from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Typically, if it is not loose.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
