What affects the price in Pickering
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Pickering. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Tile repair at your home in Pickering
We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We work on porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles, and common reasons people contact us are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
Pickering: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What does tile repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Signs you need tile repair in Pickering
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Cracked floor tiles
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- How changes to the job are handled
How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
