Tile repair in Bowness-on-Solway, done in place
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We work on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Bowness-on-Solway questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
