Tile repair in Whitehaven

Tile repair at your home in Whitehaven

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Common call-outs are for damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles, across natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Whitehaven: your questions answered

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Shropshire.

How much does tile repair cost in Whitehaven?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire tiled area and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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 quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whitehaven

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whitehaven as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repairing versus replacing in Whitehaven

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our pricing.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size

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

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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 will say what we think.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
