  • Whole walls of failing grout

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

  • Marble

How we handle tile repair in Southwaite

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our repair technicians work on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite, and people most frequently call us about drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Southwaite and across Cumbria. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

FAQs for Southwaite

Do you come to Southwaite?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Southwaite from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Do you cover the whole of Cumbria?

All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Southwaite, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

What we are called out for in Southwaite

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.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Cracked floor tiles

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • One price list for the entire UK

See our full price list.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Southwaite. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
