Tile repair in Bootham without replacing anything
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We are frequently asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, across ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Bootham: your questions answered
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across York.
How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most customers in Bootham get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
When to call us in Bootham
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
- Damaged tile edges
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Drill holes from removed fittings
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Repair or replace in Bootham?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
