Tile repair near Near Sawrey

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot 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 pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Near Sawrey

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

Tile repair in Near Sawrey, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our technicians work on floor and wall tiles, marble and ceramic tiles, and people most frequently call us about drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Near Sawrey. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it

Most clients in Near Sawrey get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
