How we handle tile repair in Bigrigg

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Our repair technicians work on marble, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Questions from Bigrigg

Do I have to be there?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Often, yes, if it isn’t loose.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How much does tile repair cost in Bigrigg?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Bigrigg

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

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What affects the price in Bigrigg

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Bigrigg. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
