Tile repair in Kendal

How we handle tile repair in Kendal

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles, and people most frequently call us about damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Kendal

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. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Common questions in Kendal

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Kendal and nearby

Kendal is about 24 miles north-east of Barrow-in-Furness, in Cumbria. From the centre of Kendal to the outlying streets, the service is the same: a fixed price, a tidy visit and a guarantee. Kendal is one of 438 towns and villages in Cumbria where we work. We work right across the region, from Kendal to Leeds (60 miles away).

Our visits in LA9 are booked in the same way as anywhere else. That includes homes on Station Road, Kent Place and Queen Katherine Street and the roads around them. Kendal is on the A6 and A65, so it’s easy for us to reach. Other places close to Kendal include Kentrigg (1 mile north), Oxenholme (2 miles south-east), Plumgarths (2 miles north-west), Burneside (2 miles north) and Skelsmergh (2 miles north). Further out, we also cover Windermere (7 miles north-west), Grange-over-Sands (12 miles south-west), Ambleside (11 miles north-west), Bowness-on-Windermere (7 miles west), Sedbergh (9 miles east) and Milnthorpe (7 miles south). Being one of Cumbria’s larger places, Kendal is somewhere we visit often.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Kendal

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

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we are called out for in Kendal

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Cracked floor tiles

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Kendal. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Most customers in Kendal get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
