Tile repair in Kirkby Lonsdale

Tile repair in Kirkby Lonsdale without replacing anything

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We are frequently asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, in ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in Kirkby Lonsdale

Do you come to Kirkby Lonsdale?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Kirkby Lonsdale from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

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

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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 will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Kirkby Lonsdale

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kirkby Lonsdale use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
