Questions from Hensingham
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you work in Hensingham?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Hensingham and the rest of Cumbria. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How much does tile repair cost in Hensingham?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- 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’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Hensingham

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What affects the price in Hensingham
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
For most jobs, pictures 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.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Hensingham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
