Tile repair at your home in Temple Sowerby
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Our technicians work on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people get in touch are drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Temple Sowerby
For anyone letting property in or around Temple Sowerby, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

FAQs for Temple Sowerby
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do you work in Temple Sowerby?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Temple Sowerby and the rest of Cumbria. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
