Tile repair for Buttermere homes

Tile repair in Buttermere, done in place

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. If you’re dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Buttermere and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Buttermere

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

What we’re called out for in Buttermere

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Buttermere, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Buttermere questions

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Does someone need to be in?

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?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Frequently, yes, if it is not loose.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
