About our tile repair in Cummersdale

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. 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 chips from dropped pans and tools, we can normally put it right, on marble, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite alike.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Before and after: damaged granite tiles repaired in place

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

The material
How many items we do on one visit
Access to the area
The size and number of damaged areas

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A close-up of the damage, in focus
Any details about the material
A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Your questions about tile repair in Cummersdale

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Cummersdale?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens next?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
