Tile repair at your home in Scalby
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We’re frequently asked to fix damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, across floor and wall tiles, marble and natural stone & granite.
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.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Scalby as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in North Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Natural stone & granite
- Floor and wall tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Marble
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
