Repair or replace in Askham?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Askham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We leave the room as we found it

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

  • Ceramic tiles
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Marble

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Askham. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

FAQs for Askham

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cumbria.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you work in Askham?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Askham and the rest of Cumbria. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CA10 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
