Bassenthwaite questions
How do I get a price for tile repair in Bassenthwaite?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your CA12 postcode.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Typically, if it isn’t loose.
Do you come to Bassenthwaite?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Bassenthwaite. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Tile repair in Bassenthwaite, done in place
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, across porcelain tiles, marble and natural stone & granite.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?
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. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Advice
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, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- 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 will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Floor and wall tiles
