DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Tile repair in Carleton without replacing anything
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If you are dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, we can help, on floor and wall tiles, marble and porcelain tiles alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Carleton questions
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Carleton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire tiled area and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you come to Carleton?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Carleton and the rest of Cumbria. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Most customers in Carleton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Carleton
If you manage property in Carleton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
