Tile repair in Rufforth without replacing anything
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, across ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. 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.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Rufforth, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Rufforth. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
If you are in Rufforth and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repairing versus replacing in Rufforth
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
