Tile repair in Ambleside without replacing anything
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and marble, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Ambleside and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Common problems we fix in Ambleside
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
Common reasons people in Ambleside contact us are:
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Damaged tile edges
- Drill holes from removed fittings

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

FAQs for Ambleside
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Typically, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, 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.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
