About our tile repair in Great Urswick
We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Our repair technicians work on marble, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles, and people most frequently call us about drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- The material
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
