Tile repair in Storth

How we handle tile repair in Storth

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, we can normally put it right, on marble, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in Storth

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cumbria.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do I have to be there?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in Storth

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No need to remove anything
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No extra charge for your area

See our prices page.

What affects the price in Storth

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Storth. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Storth use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
