How we handle tile repair in Upton

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Common call-outs are for cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, in marble, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Upton: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Frequently, yes, if it is not loose.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Upton and the rest of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

  • Marble
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Ceramic tiles

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why Upton clients choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What affects the price in Upton

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Upton. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Landlord and trade work in Upton

For anyone letting property in or around Upton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
