Tile repair at your home in Fair Hill
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Common call-outs are for damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, on marble, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Fair Hill and across Cumbria. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Fair Hill

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Common questions in Fair Hill
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you cover Fair Hill?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Fair Hill and the rest of Cumbria. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Usually, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
