Tile repair for Troutbeck homes

Tile repair in Troutbeck without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If you are dealing with cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Read our pricing.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down 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. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Troutbeck. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • The material, if you know it

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Your questions about tile repair in Troutbeck

How do I get a price for tile repair in Troutbeck?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Troutbeck as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
