Common questions in Applethwaite
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Typically, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cumbria.

What affects the price in Applethwaite
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
If you are in Applethwaite and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Applethwaite
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Do you need tile repair in Applethwaite?
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.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Damaged tile edges
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
