The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Typical jobs include discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and marble.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in Thickholme
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cumbria.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How much does tile repair cost in Thickholme?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Marble
- Natural stone & granite
- Porcelain tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
