Tile repair in Ellerby without replacing anything
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you’re dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, we can generally put it right, on floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlord and trade work in Ellerby
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ellerby as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
