How we handle tile repair in Egremont
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and marble, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Questions from Egremont
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Egremont
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Common problems we fix in Egremont
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Damaged tile edges
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Cracked floor tiles
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- Who will actually do the work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Marble
- Porcelain tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Floor and wall tiles

- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
