How we handle tile repair in Akebar
The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We regularly repair marble, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Yorkshire. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Akebar. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:

- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Common problems we fix in Akebar

Look out for these signs:
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Cracked floor tiles
- Damaged tile edges

- What protection goes down before work starts
Landlord and trade work in Akebar
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Questions from Akebar
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Are there extra charges for Akebar?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do you cover the whole of North Yorkshire?
We cover the entire UK, including Akebar and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
Repair or replace in Akebar?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
