DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Tile repair in Keswick, done in place
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Whether it’s damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, we can usually put it right, on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Keswick: your questions answered
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What does tile repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit.
