Questions from Smardale
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What does tile repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CA17 postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How we handle tile repair in Smardale
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and marble, and common reasons people contact us are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlord and trade work in Smardale
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Repairing versus replacing in Smardale
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Smardale. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- One visit for most repairs
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One-year guarantee on every repair

How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage

What else we do in Smardale
When a repair is not the answer

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair

- Floor and wall tiles

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
