Tile repair in Salt End without replacing anything
The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We’re often asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, on porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

All about tile repair
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Salt End use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
FAQs for Salt End
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you cover the whole of East Riding of Yorkshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Salt End included. Travel is included in the price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Signs you need tile repair in Salt End
