Tile repair at your home in Low Brunton
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Common call-outs are for discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, on marble, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. 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.

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Are there extra charges for Low Brunton?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Normally, if it isn’t loose.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Low Brunton. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Landlord and trade work in Low Brunton
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
