Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Tile repair in Dunswell without replacing anything
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Whether it’s damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, we can normally put it right, on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles alike.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hull. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repairing versus replacing in Dunswell
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Dunswell. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Ceramic tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Floor and wall tiles
- Porcelain tiles
