About our tile repair in Tebay

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If you are dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, we can typically put it right, on marble, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles alike.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A fixed quote before you book

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Tebay. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Tebay, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
