Tile repair at your home in Dunnington
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We work on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles, and people most often call us about 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 use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Your questions about tile repair in Dunnington
Do you work in Dunnington?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Dunnington and the rest of York. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
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.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Porcelain tiles
- Marble
- Natural stone & granite
- Floor and wall tiles
- Ceramic tiles
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
