Tile repair near Ulverston

How we handle tile repair in Ulverston

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Typical jobs include cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, on porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and marble.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

FAQs for Ulverston

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ulverston

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 you book.

Materials we work on in Ulverston

  • Porcelain tiles
  • Floor and wall tiles

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
