Tile repair in Longtown without replacing anything
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on marble, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people contact us are drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Longtown, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Longtown use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
FAQs for Longtown
Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

The whole UK, including all of Herefordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
