Tile repair in Ravenstown

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

For a price in Ravenstown, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How we handle tile repair in Ravenstown

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people contact us are cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges.

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

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Ravenstown

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage

FAQs for Ravenstown

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Frequently, yes, if it is not loose.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire tiled area and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ravenstown. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Repair or replace in Ravenstown?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
