How we handle tile repair in Foxfield

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We are often asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, across natural stone & granite, marble and ceramic tiles.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlord and trade work in Foxfield

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Natural stone & granite
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Marble
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Porcelain tiles

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • No need to remove anything

See our prices page.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Foxfield questions

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Foxfield.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Do you cover the whole of Cumbria?

Everywhere in the UK, Foxfield included. Travel is included in the price.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
