About our tile repair in Kentrigg

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We work on floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles, and people most frequently call us about damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Questions from Kentrigg

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 frequently lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kentrigg use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cumbria and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’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 repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

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. Our tile repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
