Tile repair in Whitehaven

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How we handle tile repair in Whitehaven

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our technicians work on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in Whitehaven

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Normally, if it is not loose.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

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.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Cumbria. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our prices page.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  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. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
