Tile repair in Earswick without replacing anything
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We work on floor and wall tiles, marble and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Earswick
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you cover Earswick?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Earswick. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Related advice
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Natural stone & granite
- Marble
- Porcelain tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
- Ceramic tiles
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
