How we handle tile repair in Armathwaite
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our repair technicians work on natural stone & granite, marble and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Armathwaite as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, 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
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Questions from Armathwaite
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
How much does tile repair cost in Armathwaite?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CA4 postcode.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you cover the whole of Cumbria?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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 tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Armathwaite. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
