Trusted tile repair in Kentmere

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Tile repair in Kentmere, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If you are dealing with damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can usually put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Kentmere: your questions answered

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’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What does tile repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Typically, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Cumbria. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LA8 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
