DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Tile repair at your home in Glasson
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, on natural stone & granite, marble and ceramic tiles.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it 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 match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
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.
Repair or replace: which is better?

Glasson questions
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
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.
Are there extra charges for Glasson?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
When we would advise against a repair
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’ll say what we think.
