Tile repair in Greysouthen, Cumbria
Fixed-price tile repair in Greysouthen and the surrounding area, typically in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracked floor tiles
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Tile repair in Greysouthen, done in place
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can usually put it right.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Greysouthen as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- 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 photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Questions from Greysouthen
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Preparing for the visit

What affects the price in Greysouthen
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. We do not 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.
