How we handle tile repair in Upperby
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If you’re dealing with cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help, on floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and marble alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.

Common questions in Upperby
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Often, yes, if it isn’t loose.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cumbria and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What affects the price in Upperby
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
