Tile repair in Burniston, done in place
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We are often asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, on ceramic tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What else we do in Burniston
Landlord and trade work in Burniston
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Your questions about tile repair in Burniston
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Burniston. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole tiled area
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your YO13 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
