About our tile repair in Fairburn
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We’re frequently asked to fix cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, on floor and wall tiles, marble and natural stone & granite.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
The process
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
There is 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 reply with a fixed price.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Common problems we fix in Fairburn
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Cracked floor tiles
- Damaged tile edges
- Chips from dropped pans and tools

Common questions in Fairburn
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Fairburn and the rest of Wakefield. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Normally, if it is not loose.
How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Fairburn. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually.
