Tile repair in Cockermouth, done in place

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How it works
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 tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Questions from Cockermouth
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Generally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Do you need tile repair in Cockermouth?
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Cracked floor tiles
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How the colour is matched
- What prep work is covered
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
