Tile repair in Ravenglass

About our tile repair in Ravenglass

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’ll tell you. Typical jobs include cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, in floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles.

In a village like Ravenglass, floors in older homes may be original, which are worth keeping. A repair keeps them.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Ravenglass and across Cumbria. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we’re called out for in Ravenglass

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Common reasons people in Ravenglass contact us are:

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Damaged tile edges

In the older streets of Ravenglass, around landmarks like St Michael's Church, old tiles are hard to match, so repairing a damaged one keeps the original floor.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if they find more damage

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. For a rural home like those around Ravenglass, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while a repair is a single visit.

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. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Same prices wherever you are

What a repair 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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Common questions in Ravenglass

Do you work for landlords with property near Ravenglass for Eskdale station?

Of course: pictures and an address are all we need for a price.

Is it worth repairing old tiles in a period home in Ravenglass?

Normally: original pieces are frequently better made and harder to replace. We will give you an honest view from pictures.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it. Somewhere like Ravenglass needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. Everything for the tile repair comes with us in one trip.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space clear if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
